Argentina: B'nai B'rith At 76th Anniversary of Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) in Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral (Spanish)

10/27/2014

B'nai B'rith Argentina's Commission on Interfaith Dialogue helped organize an interfaith event around the 76th anniversary of the Night of Broken Glass, a pogrom against Jews in Nazi Germany and Austria that saw tens of thousands rounded up and sent to concentration camps.

The event will be help on Sunday, Nov. 9 at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Buenos Aires. The event is designed to remind people of all faiths about the power of hate put into action.

A preview of the event can be found on the Spanish-speaking Argentinian Jewish website Vis-A-Vis. Read an excerpt of the announcement below:

[...]

Organizan el evento la Comisión Arquidiocesana de Ecumenismo y Diálogo Interreligioso de la Arquidiócesis de Buenos Aires, la Comisión de Diálogo Interconfesional de B’nai B’rith Argentina; y cuenta con la participación de la Comunidad Lamroth Hakol y el auspicio de numerosas organizaciones que adhieren al Diálogo Interreligioso.

 “… La Shoá fue un drama con características peculiares que se distingue, por su horror, de entre los ignominiosos crímenes que asolaron a pueblos y naciones. Nos demuestra cuan terrible es la obra del odio y la necesidad de que el recuerdo ayude a resistir el mal y a hacer que triunfe el bien y el amor", Párrafo de una carta del 23/6/13 de S.S. el Papa FRANCISCO.
