Kristallnacht ~ Bedford’s Annual Observation ~ November 9 at 5 pm

Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass,” when Nazi thugs destroyed Jewish shops and synagogues across Germany in 1938, will be commemorated on Saturday evening, November 9th at 5 pm on the steps of First Parish on the Bedford Town Common.

Sponsored by the Bedford Jewish Community and the Interfaith Clergy Network, the ceremony is brief with readings, candle-lighting, and songs.

We gather to mourn, to remember, and to strengthen our resolve to resist such violence in our own time.”
