“Crystal Night” by Maria Lugossy will go on display at Hebrew Union College, Nov. 10

OHIO---A newly acquired sculpture will be dedicated in memory of Rabbi Dr. Alfred Gottschalk, president of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion for 25 years. “Crystal Night,” a glass sculpture by award-winning Hungarian artist Mária Lugossy, will be unveiled in Mayerson Hall at HUC on Nov. 10. The sculpture evokes a night of terror known as “Kristallnacht” (The Night of Broken Glass), when, across Germany, Nazis attacked Jewish citizens by breaking windows in their buildings, shops and synagogues and killing them or dragging them off to concentration camps.
