I’m very happy to announce the completion of KristallnachtRemembered.com.
I was approached by a friend who’s a film correspondent living in Los Angeles to work on her website.
As a matter of fact she had just finished working on a documentary in which she directed and produced called Kristallnact Remembered and she badly wanted to build an exposure for her incredible documentary. I was naturally more than happy to help Evie get the message out by creating for her a website that showcases the documentary that means so much to her.
Introduction:
Kristallnacht is a German word for “Night of the Broken Glass”. On the night of November 9, 1938, Hitler ordered a pogrom against Jews in Austria. Hand grenades destroyed all of Vienna’s 42 synagogues and prayer houses, 6500 Jews were taken into custody and more than half of them were sent to the Dachau concentration camp. Members of the SA, Hitler’s “Sturm Abteilung,” ordered the Jewish residents of nearly 2,000 homes at gunpoint to leave, allowing them only one suitcase to carry with them. Jewish storefronts were smashed, the shattered glass piling up on the pavement.
The documentary “KRISTALLNACHT REMEMBERED” by Evie Sullivan captures the memories of three Viennese Jews, Annie Wagner Lampl, Frederic Morton, and Egon Schwarz, in personal interviews. They were children and young adults when they were forced to leave Vienna after Kristallnacht. They later established productive, happy lives in the USA. This film project may be the last chance to get the facts of this horrible event from actual survivors.
When I asked Estee to create the website for my documentary film KRISTALLNACHT REMEMBERED, she just said, YES, send me the info – and within no time came up with the most beautiful and efficient concept. A few days later, the site was online.
Thank you, Estee. It was an incredible experience working with you.
Love,
Evie
