Kristallnacht commemorations will be happening throughout the Netherlands tonight, with the national commemoration happening in the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam. The organizers are feeling the impact of the war between Israel and Hamas, mainly in increased interest in the commemorations. But some have had to adjust their program, NOS reports.
The synagogue on Folkingestraat in Groningen city canceled the silent march that traditionally forms part of its Kristallnacht commemoration. The synagogue wants to prevent incidents given the current violence in Israel and Gaza and the resulting tensions in the rest of the world.
