Kristallnacht – Mitzvah Project Performance

The Mitzvah Project

Annual Kristallnacht Commemoration

Sunday, November 10

2:00 – 4:00pm, Martin Meyer Sanctuary

Temple Emanu-El is proud to present The Mitzvah Project, an engrossing one-person play and lecture, created and performed by Roger Grunwald. The Mitzvah Project is a dramatic exploration of the history – and tragedy – of tens of thousands of Germans of Jewish descent known by the Nazi’s as “Mischlinge”. The play and lecture engage several socio-historical issues: “Who decides the meaning of culture, race and ethnicity?” “How is one’s identity determined?” “Why do we demonize ‘the other?”

The program is free and open to the community. 11 years and older recommended (younger at parental discretion). This program is intended to spark inter-generational conversation.
