Temple Beth Israel presents a Kristallnact Program, a 79th anniversary commemoration, featuring Werner Reich at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 8. 
Reich, a Holocaust survivor and educator, was living in Berlin when the Nazis came to power in 1933. His father lost his job and the family moved to Yugoslavia. After his father died in 1940, his mother placed him in hiding with several families, and he became involved in the resistance movement. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1943 and sent to Theresienstadt, then to Auschwitz, then to Mauthausen.
