Veteran journalist Walter Bingham, the host of Arutz Sheva/Israel National Radio's Walter's World podcast is to speak at a special Kristallnacht program. Bingham is a survivor of the anti-Jewish pogrom which occurred in Germany 75 years ago.

Authentic World War II artifacts will be displayed in addition to photos, and slides. Bingham will relate the background on how Adolf Hitler came to power and why the masses followed him. 

"I will lay out the long chain of events, which led up to Kristallnacht, the Night of the Broken Glass. You will hear about my experiences in public school during the Hitler era and my journey to England with the Kindertransport. I encourage listeners who have heard my program to come and meet me in person," he said.

The event will take place at the Netanya AACI - Association for Americans and Canadians in Israel on Sunday December 22nd at 7:30 p.m. For more information click here.
