Sudetenland: From Appeasement to Kristallnacht

Learn about the rich Jewish heritage of the Sudetenland region and how the march to war unfolded in the interwar period, culminating in the violent acts of Kristallnacht.

Yvonne Weisgrab Penkavova, a historian based in Prague, will describe the history of Jews in Sudetenland and how Jewish people, culture, and heritage were threatened and ultimately decimated in the new Czechoslovak republic after WWII, through the Munich Agreement, and the Kristallnacht pogroms of Nov 9-10, 1938.
