First off, it seems that the email links on the Kristallnacht Project site have not been working correctly. We are not sure how long they were not working and apologize if anyone attempted to contact us and was unable to get a response. The problem has been corrected.
Also, you might notice a few changes to the site as we have tweaked the direction of this project in a way that we think will make it much easier and interesting for people to participate and become a part of this undertaking. We're still working a few things out but should have something more concrete to share with you by the end of the month. Thank you for your patience and interest!

About the Kristallnacht Project
Join internationally-known Judaica artist Gary Rosenthal in putting the pieces of glass back together through the Kristallnacht Project.
In November, 1938, thousands of synagogues, businesses, homes and lives were destroyed in a single night. Kristallnacht - the night of broken glass - was a turning point that marked the beginning of the Holocaust. It began with that night and ended with the murder of six million Jews, including one and a half million children.
On November 9, 2013, the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, internationally renowned Judaica artist Gary Rosenthal will unveil the Kristallnacht Wall. This 600 square-foot glass sculpture will be made of countless shards of glass, fused together by thousands of people across the world.
From the broken glass, representing thousands of shattered windows destroyed out of hatred and prejudice, will emerge a beautiful work of art. This unique artwork will serve as a powerful reminder that societies must embrace diversity and celebrate differences among all peoples of the world; it will be a symbol of hope that mankind must live together harmoniously.
