As time marches forward, it is our task to remember and learn about the Shoah; the stories of those that were lost as well as the those who survived.
Please tune in on Sunday evening November 9, 2025 at 8:30pm ET when the FJMC Committee to Combat Antisemitism will commemorate the 87th anniversary of Kristallnacht with Fred Zeilberger, who survived this tragedy as an eight-year-old in Germany. Fred would survive deportation and the camps as an adolescent and teenager during the war. In this webinar, we’ll talk about his experiences during this tragedy and how it impacted his post Holocaust life. He and his wife, Elaine, celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary earlier this year. Be in the room when it happens; register for this FREE webinar today at: https://fjmc.org/events-2/kristallnacht/.
Fred Zeilberger was born on December 16, 1929 in Wurzburg, Germany, where his father, Justin, owned a tailor shop. On Kristallnacht, the store was destroyed. Justin was taken to Buchenwald concentration camp for nine weeks, then released, after which the entire family was forcibly resettled in the Jewish Ghetto. In November 1941, Fred and his family were deported to Latvia and endured three and a half years in three different concentration camps. Fred survived five different concentration camps before being liberated in the spring of 1945 by the Russian army. Upon liberation, Fred returned to Wurzburg only to learn his entire immediate family was murdered by the Nazis; he was the sole survivor.
