Annual Kristallnacht Commemoration 
The Boys of Buchenwald Reunite! 
Tuesday, November 9, 2004, 9:30 am-11:30 am
Child Survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp will reunite to view a movie of their story and share their experience and perspective in a discussion with the audience. These boys survived the Holocaust with no family, no home, and no future. But what they did have was each other. Please join us when these men detail their lives and their unique relationship. This program is appropriate for middle school and high school students.
