Yad Vashem launches Kristalnacht exhibition for pogrom’s 80th anniversary
The artifacts featured in the exhibition provide a window into the lives of those who experienced the events of 9 November 1938, and give a glimpse into German and Austrian Jewish life before WWII.
The "Kahal Adat Israel" Synagogue, known as the Schiffschul, going up in flames during the Kristallnacht pogrom, 9-10 November 1938. This was the main orthodox synagogue in Vienna, named after the street on which it was situated, Grosse Schiff Street (Grosse Schiffgasse), in Vienna's 2nd District.
