In commemoration of the 82nd anniversary of Kristallnacht, Holocaust Museum LA presents “Theodore Bikel’s City of Light,” a virtual presentation about the award-winning book by author Aimee Bikel. The book, illustrated by Noah Phillips, is based on a story by Bikel’s late husband, acclaimed actor, singer and activist Theodore Bikel. Intended for ages 10 and up, “Theodore Bikel’s City of Light” is the tale of a young boy’s happy childhood in Vienna that is overtaken by the brutal and violent anti-Semitism he witnesses as Nazi influence grows. He experiences both Nazi Germany’s annexation of Austria and Kristallnacht. Forced to flee, the young boy grows up and returns to Vienna years later to find its Jewish community and Temple have been restored, revealing the light and hope that have always been in his own heart.
