Join us for a stage reading of the play Knocking on the Doors of History and witness the Kaufmann family’s survival in Shanghai and beyond. The play follows the Kaufmann family members, from their experiences during Kristallnacht, a series of pogroms waged against Jewish-owned businesses, synagogues, and homes on November 9 and 10, 1938, in Germany, to the family’s subsequent escape to Shanghai, China, as the last hope for refuge before the outbreak of World War II.
A talk-back conversation will take place in the Cinemark Theater following the performance.
