Shattered Stars: The Power of Courage

1-Time Lecture | To register, please call us at: 305-919-5900.

In this moving multimedia program, author Irene Stern Frielich shares her family’s journey from the terror of Kristallnacht in 1938 to their escape into the Netherlands and months of hiding in a barn attic. Through photos, recordings, and interviews, she brings to life the ordinary people — a baker, farmers, clergy, even a mayor — whose extraordinary courage made survival possible.

More than history, this is a story of hope and moral choice. Drawing parallels to rising antisemitism today, Irene reminds us that one act of courage, one voice of truth, can change the future.
