According to the "Divers" newsletter, on November 10, the Jewish Community in Tg. Mures and the "Pro Europa" League organized a commemoration of the victims of the event known as "Kristallnacht" ("The Crystal Night" - November 9, 1938), which is considered to be a symbolic beginning of the Holocaust. The event included a commemoration at the city synagogue and a performance at the Ariel Theater, "The Evening with No Applauses" – a theatrical experiment based on Anne Frank’s diary and on the book "Kaddis a meg nem szeletett gyermekert" by Kertesz Imre, performed by the Theatrical Art Academy.

The newsletter shows that 65 year ago, Herschel Grynszpan – a young Jew who had received a postcard from his father describing the conditions in which were kept the deported Jews at the Polish border – went to the German embassy in Paris and shot the first official that he came across. The official died on November 8, 1938 from the wounds inflicted and the news of his death reached Germany a day later. Hitler and the Nazis denounced the assassination as part of the Jewish world conspiracy against the Germans. The pogrom broke out on November 9, 1938 in Berlin and was organized by Hitler’s rapid intervention troops. All over the country, more than 200 synagogues were set fire to, the windows of the Jewish shops were broken (hence the name of "Kristallnacht", because of the glass fragments scattered everywhere), many Jews were physically abused, over 7,000 Jewish businessmen were assaulted, the religious books of the community were burnt in public, 91 Jews were killed and over 30,000 were arrested and sent to concentration camps. The violence lasted for 24 hours.

A similar commemoration was held at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Timisoara.

On November 9, 57 years after its inauguration, the monument of the Holocaust victims in Bihor county was re-unveiled in Oradea, after being restored. This news has been announced by the "Divers" newsletter, quoting a report of the MTI press agency.

The monument was erected in 1946 in the courtyard of the "Nicolae Balcescu" elementary school in Oradea. A gilded inscription in Hebrew was attached to it, as well as four commemorative plates evoking the events of that period in Romanian, Hungarian, English and Hebrew. The restoration expenses were paid by The Lempert Family Foundation, established by Norbert Lempert, a Jewish businessman born in Oradea. The Lempert Foundation is eager to finance the placement of a monument to the memory of the deportees, possibly in Balcescu Park, the area from where set off for the "death camps" the trains bearing more than 30,000 Jews from the Oradea ghettoes.
