17TH ANNUAL GREATER NEW HAVEN COMMUNITY-WIDE KRISTALLNACHT COMMEMORATION:

 

"SYNDROME K: A TRUE STORY ABOUT A FAKE DISEASE THAT SAVED JEWISH LIVES IN ITALY"

This year, Italian Jewry celebrates the 80th anniversary of the daring Fatebenefratelli Hospital rescue operation. Our 17th annual Kristallnacht commemoration this year will therefore honor the trio of doctors who risked their lives to save Italian Jews from the clutches of Nazism, by inventing a fake disease: “Syndrome K.” For their deeds of conscience and courage, Dr Giovanni Borromeo has been honored by Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Center; and Dr. Vittorio Sacerdoti has been honored by B’nai Brith’s Committee to Recognize Jewish Holocaust Rescuers. On November 12th we will shine a light on Dr. Adriano Ossicini and his life-saving heroism.

We ask that you kindly RSVP through the "Register" button, above, so that we may better accommodate you.
