88th Commemoration of Kristallnacht | Film Screening: The Lark FarmThe Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre invites you to mark the Anniversary of the November Pogrom - Kristallnacht.
On 9-10 November 1938, synagogues burned and Jewish homes and businesses were destroyed across Germany and Austria, a turning point on the road to the Holocaust.
This year, we will screen THE LARK FARM (A film by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani) - _Touched by passion and torn apart by war._
The film tells the story of a prosperous Armenian family in a small Anatolian town in 1915, whose lives are swept into the Armenian Genocide.
As we mark Kristallnacht, this screening invites us to reflect on the Holocaust and the wider history of genocide. The Armenian Genocide also influenced Raphael Lemkin's thinking and his pioneering work to define genocide as an international crime.
Through these histories, we explore how hatred, dehumanisation and exclusion can pave the way for mass violence.
