Join HMTC to mark the anniversary of “Kristallnacht,” the state-sponsored attack on Jews that was launched by the Nazis on the night of November 9, 1938. This year, in an effort to emphasize the role of resistance during the Holocaust, HMTC welcomed author Jeffrey Sussman for a discussion about his new book Holocaust Fighters: Boxers, Resisters, and Avengers, which focuses on five boxers, four Jews and one Sinti, who fought back, unwilling to passively accept their fate as dealt to them by the Nazis.
