Event to mark 70th anniversary

Fritz Ottenheimer was 13 years old, living with his parents in Constance, Germany, in late 1938 when he was startled awake one night by an explosion.

Charity Sister Gemma Del Duca, who founded Seton Hill’s Holocaust center in 1987 and oversees it, said, “In remembering the shocking days of Kristallnacht we become vigilant and sensitive to violations of human rights and human dignity in our cities, our country, our world, even now in this first decade of the 21st century.” (Pittsburgh Catholic News)
