Yom HaShoah in River Edge

Yom HaShoah in River Edge

Yom HaShoah is the day established by the State of Israel to memorialize the six-million Jews murdered by the Nazis, their allies, and local collaborators during the Second World War. Jewish communities around the world have adopted this commemoration, which falls on the 27th day of the Jewish month of Nissan.

Peter Adler, 鈥淢y Life in Nazi Germany: From Persecution to Flight鈥

Monday, May 2 at 7:00 pm via Zoom

Peter Adler grew up in Nazi Germany. The state deprived him and others whom had it identified as Jews of their rights to life, liberty, and property.

On September 15, 1935, Hitler promulgated the Nuremberg Laws, which striped of German citizenship Jews and people with immediate Jewish ancestry. Additional restrictions mounted over the years. As a young boy, Mr. Adler could not own a pet or bicycle. The Nazis forbade Jews from riding in street cars, going to the theater, playing sports, and going to parks. They imposed a strict curfew on Jews, while limiting the times and places they could shop, not to mentions the items they could purchase. The Nazis ordered Jews, including Mr. Adler鈥檚 mother, to relinquish their shortwave radios and removed phones from their domiciles.

Mr. Adler recalls the Nazis forcing him to change his middle name to 鈥淚srael鈥 and stamping his passport with a large, red 鈥淛鈥 for Jew. Along with his brother, Mr. Adler was made to transfer to a Jewish school from the public one that he had attended. His non-Jewish friends pulled away from him completely, most fearing the repercussions of continuing to associate with a Jew.

In the nationwide pogrom known popularly as Kristallnacht, the Nazis destroyed Mr. Adler鈥檚 synagogue. That same day, Gestapo members raided his house in search of Jewish men whom they sought to arrest and send to concentration camps. Fortunately, the Nazis failed to find Mr. Adler鈥檚 uncle, who had hidden himself beneath Mr. Adler鈥檚 mother鈥檚 bed.

The Adlers fled Germany in August 1939 and thus narrowly escaped the Holocaust.
