KRISTALLNACHT SERVICE
On the evening of November 9, 1938, the government of Nazi Germany began burning down synagogues and smashing the glass fronts of Jewish shops in Berlin and other large cities in Germany and Austria. That night has been called Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass. From that time onward, the momentum of the Holocaust gathered force and led to wholesale persecution. Please join St. John’s Lutheran Church for a candlelight service of rememberance commemorating Kristallnacht. The service will end with an active commitment to love, healing and peace for the world.
Music by Verdi, Strauss, Mendelssohn, Weil, Handel and others.
Martha Guth, soprano
Ann McMahon Quintero, mezz0-soprano
Robert McPherson, tenor
Tim Hill, bass-baritone
