About the Conference

logo On the night of November 9, 1938, Nazi pogroms against Jews throughout Germany and Austria began with Krystallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. Jewish homes and businesses were vandalized and looted leaving broken glass and ushering in a new chapter in Nazi anti-semitism. After Krystallnacht, Nazi deportation and internment of Jews began in earnest. On this 70th anniversary of Krystallnacht, you are asked to consider ways in which Nazi terror has redefined the world.

At the next anniversary of Krystallnacht, the Graduate Programs of the School of Arts and Sciences at Holy Family University will present a two-day interdisciplinary conference entitled "70 Years Later: The Global Impact of the Holocaust" to be held on November 14-15, 2009. Panels, presentations, and poster sessions will be accepted from all disciplines.
