KRISTALLNACHT WAS A POGROM AGAINST JEWS,CARRIED OUT BY PARAMILITARY FORCES, THROUGHOUT NAZI GERMANY AND AUSTRIA, OVER THE NIGHTS OF 9 AND 10 NOVEMBER 1938. JEWISH BUSINESSES, PLACES OF WORSHIP AND JEWISH HOMES WERE VANDALIZED LOOTED AND BURNED OVER THIS PERIOD. MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE WERE MURDERED AND 30,000 JEWISH PEOPLE WERE ROUNDED UP AND DEPORTED TO CONCENTRATION AND PRISONER CAMPS. 2 SHALOM MAGAZINE | CHESHVAN – KISLEV 5781 Kristallnacht is also known as the “night of broken glass”, in reference to the mass destruction of shops and synagogues and the shattered glass of windows. The impact of Kristallnacht is still seen today in the form of neo Nazi and white supremacist marches and provocations throughout the world. Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies (QJBD) Holocaust Commemorations Chair Eddy Berkovitz said Kristallnacht provided an occasion for all individuals to stand up against hatred. “In addition to the horrors committed over the two nights, Kristallnacht represented a lost opportunity for people to make a stand against the evils of racism and extremism,” Eddy said. “In fact, some would argue that the silence (the German authorities and others looked on without intervening) only acted to encourage the rise of the Nazi regime throughout Europe and, subsequently, the murder of more than six million Jewish people.” The evening will feature a talk by Brigidine College teacher Nidean Dickson, and “Not just a survivor” author Rochy Miller.

Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

Despite the trying times, the families who live in Kadesh Barnea are even more resolved to survive and prosper. The community is united by their Zionist vision to settle the Negev, choosing to not only stay but to grow. They have become a symbol of resilience and growing prosperity in the face of adversity. The community functions as the central hub of the region, providing services to all the neighbouring communities, and is a key component of the region’s demographic growth. JNF is raising funds for the building of an Environmental Education Centre in the heart of Kadesh Barnea. The centre will offer courses, seminars, lectures and provide a safe space for community gatherings.
