Open call for "KRISTALLNACHT" Location: NY Deadline: September 30, 2019 REPOST for @sk_artgallery_ny “KRISTALLNACHT” Deadline for entry: Sept. 30 Venue: SK Art Gallery NY 122 Westmoreland Ave. White Plains, NY This juried exhibit is open to all artists. Kristallnacht, meaning the "Night of Broken Glass" occurred in Germany, Nov. 9 & 10, 1938. Kristallnacht owes its name to the shards of shattered glass that lined German streets in the wake of the Nazis's who had torched synagogues, vandalized Jewish homes, schools and businesses destroyed during the violence. It also marked the turning point from Jewish oppression by the Nazis to the violence and destruction of the Jewish European population. The remembrance of Kristallnacht is to make witness to hatred and to ensure it never happens again. We are seeing a similar time in our present day when hate and fear of others seems to be running rampant. We are seeing a similar tie when values of freedom, love and fraternity towards our equal is being surpassed by oppression of race, ethnicity, gender and religion. This call and exhibit will stand up against oppression and hatred of any kind whether it's driven by race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality or gender bias. It is to remember Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. This exhibit will be about remembrance and about standing up for what is good and morally right for everyone to live in a world of Love.

A Kinder Suitcase: Rescue and Refuge

By Josie Roberts, Learning Officer 

To accompany the Sukkot: Seeking Shelter exhibition we have an array of exciting events alongside the wonderful sukkah installed in our Welcome Gallery. To highlight further some of the important issues surrounding migration, we are going to shed light on a number of hidden stories of migration in our permanent collection. We will add a new sign each week next to an object with a hidden story. To share these stories even further we wanted to add them to our blog. Keep up with the stories week by week.

One suitcase is all most children were able to bring onto the Kindertransport, a rescue mission that  transported 10,000 unaccompanied children from Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic to Britain between 1938 and 1939.

This suitcase belonged to 15 year old Martin Thau, who left Berlin in July 1939. His suitcase was packed by his step mother who ensured he had a change of clothes, items for prayer and writing materials, alongside family photographs.

Martin’s family, like many others in Germany decided that being separated and sending their children away was a safer option than continuing life under the rule of the Nazis. This was certainly the case following Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) on 9th November 1938. Jewish businesses had been broken into and glass smashed, synagogues were burnt to the ground and many Jewish men were arrested without reason.

After the Night of Broken Glass made international news, many groups in Britain, including World Jewish Relief and Quaker organisations, decided to take action. They petitioned to parliament and a bill was passed allowing children to travel to Britain providing they were sponsored to the amount of £50.

Although the opportunity was welcomed this extremely difficult decision to send children to people they may not have met was paired with the worry of an uncertain future. Many parents had no idea when they would see their children again. Many were never reunited after the holocaust and the children became the only survivors of their families.

Just three weeks later the first trains departed Europe. Within nine months nearly 10,000 children had been rescued. This operation wasn’t the only mission taking place. Nicolas Winton led an operation that transported 669 children from the Czech Republic to Britain in 1938.

Many of the Kinder Transport Refugees made Britain their home, whilst others settled in America, Israel and Canada.

The Sukkot: Seeking Shelter project was supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund.
