Galloway, N.J. — The Annual Kristallnacht Program presented by the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at Stockton University will feature a film screening of the documentary “My Underground Mother” and a talkback session with the film’s director, Marisa Fox, at 6 p.m. Nov. 10.

“My Underground Mother” explores the sisterhood and hidden traumas of survivors of Jewish women’s camps during the Holocaust. It’s the first documentary to investigate Holocaust sexual trauma as told by women survivors, scholars and historical figures, such as Benjamin Ferencz, the last living Nuremberg prosecutor.

The film won Best Documentary at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, the Audience Prize at the 2026 Rasnov Film and Histories Festival in Romania and Best Feature Film by Philly Jewish Film + Media’s Docs & Dialogue 2026. At the heart of the film is the story of Fox’s mother, Holocaust survivor Tamar Froimer. Fox is an award-winning journalist and first-time film director who has been a producer at FX, Channel 13-WNET, VH1 and MTV.

Admission is free and refreshments will be provided for the event, which will be held in the L-112 lecture hall. But RSVP is required by calling the Holocaust Center at 609-652-4699 or emailing hrc@stockton.edu. New Jersey educators can receive 2.0 professional development hours for attending.

The event is also sponsored by the Stockton’s School of Arts and Humanities, the Board of Jewish Education of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, the Jewish Federation of Atlantic and Cape May Counties and the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education.

Kristallnacht, also known as the November Pogrom, was an organized two days of violence and destruction targeting Jews in Germany and previously annexed Austria on Nov. 9-10, 1938. During this pogrom, 1,408 synagogues and places of worship were destroyed, Jewish women and children were terrorized as their homes and apartments were ransacked and rendered uninhabitable, and 30,000 Jewish men were arrested. The government, instead of protecting the Jews, encouraged citizens to commit this violence and vandalism.
