Alex Lebenstein recounts his experience during Kristallnacht — the night of broken glass — when Nazi’s destroyed his family’s home and business and forced them to flee for their lives. Lebenstein was 11 years old when the incident occurred. He shared the story during the Days of Remembrance for Victims of the Holocaust observance on Tuesday at the post theater.

Garrison extends invite to change of command
Col. Jason T. Evans will pass the garrison colors to Col. Anthony D. Reyes during a May 14 change of command ceremony here at Continental Park. The event begins at 10 a.m. and is open to the public.
Reyes comes to Fort Monroe from the Pentagon where he was Chief of the Army Diversity Office. The colonel’s military career started in 1984 when he was commissioned in the Field Artillery Corps. Reyes graduated from Hampton University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management. Additionally, he earned a Master of Arts Degree in Human Resources from Webster University, based in St. Louis.
Reyes’ military education includes the Field Artillery Officer Basic and Advanced Courses, Air Command and Staff College and the U.S. Army War College.
Evans has held the Fort Monroe Garrison Commander position for the past three years. Highlights of his time here include oversight of installation activities in preparation for closure under BRAC in 2011, and the start of a $20 million seawall repair and improvement project that is well on its way toward completion in 2009. After the change of command, Evans will deploy to Baghdad, Iraq for his follow-on assignment.
The upcoming ceremony will be hosted by Diane M. Devens, Director of the Northeast Region, Installation Management Command. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will take place at the post theater on Tidball Road.
