Commemorating Kristallnacht: Cold Crematorium - Rabbi Greg Weisman in Conversation with Alex Bruner
2024-11-07 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
When veteran journalist, poet, and novelist József Debreczeni arrived in Auschwitz, he was “lucky” to be sent to a life of slave labor rather than directly to the gas chambers. He survived and after the war wrote Cold Crematorium, which one reviewer called “the harshest, most merciless indictment of Nazism ever written.” First published in Hungarian in 1950 and never translated due to McCarthyism, Cold War hostilities, and antisemitism, Cold Crematorium is now available in English, thanks in part to the author’s nephew, Temple Beth El member Alex Bruner.
As we mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht, Alex, a child of Holocaust survivors, will be in conversation with Rabbi Greg to discuss the historical and family context for his uncle’s deportation to Auschwitz and describe the author’s hellish journey through multiple slave labor camps. He will share pictures, documents, as well as audio recordings from the book.
Join us to learn why Alex’s uncle wrote the book, how it was initially received, the reasons it was not translated into a world language until now, and the lessons one can draw from the work.
Refreshments to follow.

The Triple P – Positive Parenting Program® knows all parents have different needs. That’s why Triple P has many different ways for you to get your parenting help. So you can choose what will suit you and your family best. Your baby is almost an adult, or at least that’s what they think. So life at home can be a little strained. Maybe your 13-year-old son grunts instead of speaking to you. Or your 14-year-old daughter wants to go to parties with people you don’t even know. It’s not that you’ve got a “wild” kid. You’d just like to make sure things don’t get out of hand.
If this sounds like you, then Triple P Seminars may be for you. Seminars are informal presentations and you can choose to do one or both of them (Nov 19). They deal with the most common parenting issues such as how to encourage responsible behavior, improve family relationships, deal with independence, or manage programs at school or with friends.
Led by Arielle Blumenthal, LCSW from Jewish Family Services.
