Kristallnacht, November 9-10

Remember: the blackness of that night, Victory: in the dawn of this day

In the blackest hour of night

Hatred destroying souls

Despising our people

Eradicating our essence

Shattering our existence.

In the blackest hour of night

Broken glass screamed as it fell

Shards joined together merging

Rejecting a broken future

Re-forming parts into wholeness

In the light of a new day

The shards took earthly form

Parts metamorphosizes into the future

Victory in perseverance

Joy in new life
