Kristallnacht with Wolf Gruner 

Resisters

Thursday, November 9th at 7pm 

Performing Arts Center, East Entrance, Arts and Education Building, The J Creve Coeur 

Drawing on 12 years of research in dozens of archives in Austria, Germany, Israel, and the United States, Resisters tells the story of five Jewish people—a merchant, a homemaker, a real estate broker, and two teenagers—who bravely resisted persecution and defended themselves in Nazi Germany. These stories have not been told until now, and each case is one of many, as Gruner shows by resurfacing similar accounts of Jewish refusal to accept persecution and violence in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1943, upending the notion of passive Jews and expanding the concept of resistance.

Interviewed by Dr. Warren Rosenblum, Professor of History at Webster University.

In partnership with the St. Louis Kaplan-Feldman Holocaust Museum in memory of Rubin Feldman z"l.
