In commemoration of Kristallnacht on Nov. 9, members of B’nai Tzedek Tucson Teen Philanthropy, a program of the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona and the Jewish Community Foundation, engaged with community organizations that support those who have been persecuted and become refugees. Later they joined the Jewish History Museum for its opening of “Hèléne Berr – A Stolen Life.” Mayor Jonathan Rothschild referred to the teens as the museum’s most important attendees.
