The Center for Jewish History will begin hosting Inside Kristallnacht in Manhattan on November 30, bringing Holocaust survivor Charlotte Knobloch’s testimony into a mixed-reality program for students and the public.
The center and the Claims Conference announced the partnership November 9, the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht. The experience combines Knobloch’s account of surviving the Nazi-led violence in Munich with illustrated environments and archival material. An interactive question-and-answer feature matches visitors’ questions with her prerecorded responses.
Middle and high school students will also take part in educator-led discussions and guided reflection. The center said the program is the first offering in its broader Immersive Learning Initiative.
The program will be at 15 West 16th Street. The center’s school-visit page describes free field trips lasting two to three hours, with transportation assistance available for Title I schools and other schools needing support. Schools can contact education@cjh.org or submit a request; a request does not reserve a date until staff confirm it.
