Academy Award-winning producer Emile Sherman will be the keynote speaker at this year’s communal Kristallnacht commemoration, which takes place next month.
Sherman, who won the Best Picture Oscar for The King’s Speech and was nominated for Lion, is the producer of the film One Life, a biographical drama based on the true story of British humanitarian Sir Nicholas Winton and his rescue of 669 children on the Kindertransport. He will be in conversation with moderator Michaela Kalowski.
This year’s theme is “From Kristallnacht to Kindertransport”.
