The Victoria Shoah Project will commemorate Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass), streamed live on Zoom. We are a diverse collective of Shoah survivors, descendants, educators and caring individuals whose main focus is to continue finding innovative, informative and inspiring ways to honour, commemorate and educate about the Shoah.

We are sponsored by Congregation Emanu-El. Kristallnacht, Nov. 9, 1938, targeted Jews solely for who they were with planned attacks of Jewish owned stores, buildings and synagogues in Germany and Austria while authorities did nothing to stop the assault. The Name 'Kristallnacht' refers to the pieces of broken glass covering the streets but represents the broken lives forever changed by this tragedy.

Our program will remember all who perished in the Holocaust with a candle lighting ceremony by survivors, descendants, students and youth, other speakers, musicians and the reading of our Pledge of Mutual Respect and Support by politicians, multi-faith representatives and law enforcement leaders from the Victoria community and others.

Please join us to remember the past and pledge to take action for a better future where we will respect and protect our neighbours, not remain indifferent in the face of any injustice against any person or group and work towards building bridges leading to unity and shalom (peace) in our own community and beyond.
