From YouTube: Holocaust Memorial Rededication Ceremony
Description
The Holocaust Memorial is rededicated nearly a year after the memorial was vandalized in acts that can be compared to Kristallnacht, "The Night of Broken Glass." Holocaust survivors share their stories, and students were announced winners of the Kristallnacht essay contest.

A
I'm
sure
it
is
not
unnoticed
by
many
that
we
are
commemorating
Yom
Hashoah
in
June,
when
the
official
calendar
date
would
be
April,
11,
April
12
well,
by
way
of
explanation,
I'd
like
to
remind
you
all
that
many
of
us
are
descendants
of
a
people
who
famously
wandered
in
the
desert
for
40
years
between
Egypt
and
Israel,
a
distance
of
some
300
miles.
So
our
sense
of
time
and
place
is
not
exactly
what
it
should
be,
but
the
real
reason
is
that
our
traditional
Yom
Hashoah
venue,
this
famous
annual
Hall,
was
undergoing
renovations.
A
A
It
is
a
theme
born
particularly
of
two
unfortunate
acts
of
vandalism
that
occurred
within
weeks
of
each
other
last
summer,
just
a
few
hundred
yards
from
where
we
sit
at
the
New
England
Holocaust
Memorial,
two
stones
shattering
not
only
to
glass
panels
of
the
memorial,
but
also
in
an
instant
shattering,
our
complacency
as
a
community,
a
very
sense
of
security
and
acceptance.
That
truth
be
told
we
have
come
to
take
for
granted
this
past
summer.
We
had
our
own
crystal
Knights,
our
own
Knights
of
broken
glass.
A
A
A
Among
those
who
did
so
are
people
with
us
today,
mayor
Marty,
Walsh
of
the
city
of
Boston,
who
you
will
hear
from
later,
and
we
thank
you
for
that
response.
Melvin's
Mayor,
Gary
Kristensen.
He
will
also
hear
from
later
he
not
only
stood
up,
but
he
created
a
teachable
moment
from
these
senseless
acts,
one
of
which
was
committed
by
a
Malden
teenager
and
along
with
former
Malden
high
school
principal
Ted
Lombardi.
A
He
accompanied
25
Malden
high
school
students
to
the
Boston
memorial
in
an
effort
to
educate
and
promote
understanding,
and
that
was
just
the
beginning
of
what
he
and
his
community
has
done.
In
response
for
this,
we
thank
you.
Mr.
mayor,
within
days
of
the
initial
act
of
vandalism,
we
gathered
at
the
memorial
to
rededicate
that
place
as
what
it
is
a
sacred
place
and
evidence
to
all
the
resilience
of
our
community.
A
But
when
we
speak
of
rededication
and
resilience,
we
must
above
all
else,
speak
of
the
Holocaust
survivors,
those
who
are
still
with
us
today
and
those
of
blessed
memory,
each
of
whom,
by
their
very
survival,
is
a
testament
to
the
resilience
of
human
beings,
of
faith
and
courage
and
in
each
of
whose
heroic
efforts
to
rebuild
their
lives
from
the
ashes
of
the
Choa.
We
find
the
real
meaning
of
rededication
and
perseverance.
I
ask
that
those
survivors
who
are
with
us
today,
who
can
do
so
please
rise
and
be
recognized
and
honored
as
you
deserve.
A

The
president
of
the
combined
Jewish
Philanthropies
of
Greater
Boston
for
31
years
Barry
has
been
at
the
forefront
of
promoting
Jewish
education
and
Jewish
values
for
young
and
old
alike.
For
31
years
he
has
garnered
the
resources
of
our
community
and
put
them
to
use
to
alleviate
suffering
by
providing
shelter,
food
care
and
compassion
to
the
elderly,
infirm
and
poor.
Among
us
he
has
been
a
champion
of
the
State
of
Israel
and
a
friend
and
a
staunch
supporter
of
the
survivor
community
and
of
the
New
England
Holocaust
Memorial
for
Barry.
A
The
words
never
forget
have
been
far
more
than
just
idle
pronouncements.
They
have
been
a
call
to
action
for
this
end
for
so
much
more
as
he
leaves
his
position
at
cjp
to
forge
yet
another
path
of
enhancing
and
strengthening
our
community
at
Brandeis
University
I
asked
that
he
rise
that
we
could
recognize
his
contributions.

The
6
million,
who
perished
most
we're
not
properly
laid
to
rest
in
a
cemetery
marked
with
a
gravestone
where
loved
ones
could
visit,
and
we
will
never
know
how
many
of
them
perished,
leaving
no
one
to
remember
them,
no
one
to
mourn
for
them,
no
one
to
recite
Kaddish
or
light
a
your
side
candle.
In
tribute
to
them.
D
We
also
gather
to
rededicate
the
New
England
Holocaust
Memorial,
our
memorial,
our
memorial,
to
those
taken
from
the
world.
Last
year.
We
felt
the
pain
of
two
attacks
to
this
sacred
monument
after
the
second
attack
I
extended
an
invitation
to
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Malden
to
bring
awareness
in
understanding
of
the
Holocaust
and
this
memorial
to
their
students.
D
D
We
also
remember
people
from
our
community
who
are
no
longer
with
us.
We
remember
dr.
Paul,
Ornstein
survivor
and
we
invite
his
wife,
dr.
Anna
Ornstein
survivor
to
light
a
candle
in
his
memory,
a
Hungarian
like
my
father.
He
too
discovered
after
the
war
that
no
one
from
his
family
had
survived,
but
then
miraculously
he
discovered
that
his
father
had
survived
and
the
woman
who
had
become
his
wife,
Anna
had
also
survived.
Dr.
Ornstein
was
liberated
from
the
same
concentration
camp.
My
father
was
liberated
from
madhouse
in',
and
many
here
today
may
recall
that
dr.
D
D
D
We
remember
Goldie
weinraub
survivor.
We
asked
her
husband,
Sam
whine,
rub
survivor
in
their
daughter,
Linda
second
generation
survivor
to
light
a
candle
in
memory
of
Goldie
Goldie
and
her
husband,
Sam,
moved
into
our
community
from
Pittsburgh
just
a
few
years
ago,
and
that
they
have
since
moved
right
into
our
hearts.
Sam
has
given
many
many
testimonials
to
students
and
community
groups.
He
was
dedicated
and
devoted
to
Goldie.
They
knew
each
other
as
little
children
miraculously
they
both
survived
the
war
and
they
built
a
family.
Together,
we
light
this
candle
in
Goldie's
honor.
D
We
will
hear
Esther
Adler,
give
her
testimony
today
about
her
history
during
the
Holocaust,
and
we
will
hear
poetry
that
she
has
written.
We
asked
her
her
son,
Andy,
2nd
generation
survivor
and
her
grandson,
Benjamin
third
generation
survivor
to
light
the
next
candle
in
recognition
of
the
80th
anniversary
of
Kristallnacht
and
in
memory
of
those
lost
from
their
family
hold
the
Adler,
Hanukkah
and
36
members
of
the
asher
strim
and
Sturge
families
from
Poland.
D
We
asked
them
to
light
a
candle
in
his
memory
mark
row,
Gusinsky
second-generation
survivor,
Kathy
Rowe
Gusinsky,
his
daughter-in-law
and
the
daughter
of
a
US
World
War,
two
veteran
third
generation
survivors,
Amy
Robin
and
Lauren
Abe's
granddaughters
and
Matthew
Lewis,
his
grandson
in
law,
Abe
lost
his
entire
family,
his
father,
his
mother
and
two
sisters.
One
person
can
never
replace
another,
but
miracles
happen
in
strange
ways
ape
survived
when
no
one
else
from
his
family
did
and
in
some
way
he
was
given
back
elements
of
those
he
lost.

D
May
the
New
England
Holocaust
Memorial
stand
strong
for
generations
to
come
to
continue
to
teach
people
about
the
Holocaust
and
to
remain
a
sacred
place
dedicated
to
the
six
million.
A
flickering
candle
reminds
us
of
the
flame
of
a
life
that
once
burned
brightly
and
illuminated
the
lives
of
loved
ones.
D
D
D
H
He
rallied
our
city
together
to
face
all
forms
of
hate
and
bigotry
and
to
show
us
at
our
very
best
of
the
city
at
a
time
when
some
might
have
put
us
forward
at
our
very
worst
in
a
particularly
busy
weekend
when
the
mayor
is
hosting
so
many
mayor's
from
around
the
country.
We
are
greatly
appreciative
for
him
and
his
steadfast
presence
and
leadership
and
support
for
the
memorial
for
the
survivors
and
the
community
of
memory
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
we
thank
him
for
being
here
this
morning
with
us
today,
mayor
Marty,
Walsh.
I
The
Conference
of
Mayors
is
in
Boston
today,
and
we
have
about
250
minutes
from
the
United
States
of
America
here
in
Boston
for
the
last
four
days
last
three
days
and
one
more
day
after
this.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
mayors
as
well
to
all
the
speakers
to
the
musicians
to
the
friends,
the
neighbors,
young
and
old,
thank
you
for
being
here
today,
above
all
to
all
the
survivors
and
the
descendants
of
the
Shoah
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Boston
I,
certainly
along
with
all
of
our
colleagues
in
the
entire
city.
I
I
I
Our
city
owes
a
great
debt
of
gratitude
to
this
community
for
sharing
such
a
strength
and
making
us
stronger
as
a
city,
as
was
mentioned
already
today,
was
made
clear
last
summer
when
the
memorials
desecrated
not
once
but
twice
and
around
that
time
we
heard
of
open
declaration
of
anti-semitism
and
racism
all
across
America's
towns
and
cities.
This
community
and
the
city's
response
was
a
median
we
rallied
around
the
memorial.
Not
only
was
it
repaired,
its
meaning
was
strengthened
by
this
type
of
healing
and
we
strengthened
yet
again
by
the
same
community.
I
We
stood
and
we
continued
to
stand
against
anti-semitism
wherever
it
occurs
and
whoever
expresses
it
and
we
stood
and
continue
to
stand
against
hatred
of
all
kinds,
whoever
it's
aimed
at
so
once
again
the
resilience
of
the
survivors
in
their
communities.
You
strengthen
our
city
and
you
strengthen
all
of
humanity,
and
we
can
continue
to
heal
and
believe
what
the
Hebrew
scripture
says.
I
We
being
may
last
a
night,
but
joy
comes
in
the
morning
and
we
pledge
as
long
as
there's
a
city
of
Boston,
this
memorial
and
these
values
will
remain
at
its
hearts.
God
bless
the
Jewish
community,
god
bless
the
northern
Holocaust
Memorial.
God
bless
the
City
of
Boston
and
God
bless
the
United
States
of
America.

A

Good
morning,
honored
members
of
the
Jewish
community
of
Greater
Boston,
honorable
mayor
Walsh,
mayor
Kristensen,
honorable
colleagues,
guests,
ladies
and
gentlemen
and
children,
have
come
today
on
this
young
Harshaw
idea
of
morning
to
pay
my
deepest
respect
to
the
Holocaust
survivors
and
the
families
have
come
to
honor
and
remember
the
many
who
have
not
survived
who
have
perished,
who
have
no
grave,
where
we
can
warn
them
Afghan
to
commemorate
together
with
you.
The
victims
of
the
Holocaust
as
long
as
I
live
I
will
suffer
that
the
German
nation
will
it's
respectable.
J
J
My
heart
and
my
mind
will
never
come
to
rest
and
will
always
remind
me,
never
forget,
and
never
again,
Kirstin
art
the
night
of
broken
glass,
which
happened
exactly
80
years
ago.
There's
a
stark
reminder
of
where
hatred
and
intolerance
can
lead
the
moral
obligation
that
we
have
cannot,
however,
be
fulfilled
by
only
remembering
it
brings
with
it
a
duty
which
tells
us
protect
and
preserve
humanity
and
compassion,
protect
and
preserve
the
rights
of
every
single
human
being
and
protect
and
preserve
human
dignity.
J
Mayor
Walsh,
you
recently
said
we
can't
change
history,
but
we
can
learn
from
it
and
I
agree
completely.
The
lessons
of
the
past
shall
be
our
moral
compass
for
the
future.
Only
if
we
stand
by
our
values
and
continue
to
remember
the
past
and
learn
from
it
can
we
have
a
hope
for
a
better
future
together.

During
his
more
than
30
years
on
the
bay
at
Temple,
emeth
rabbi

has
been
an
inspirational
and
highly
esteemed
leader
of

community

has
served
as
a
president

the
New

of

and
the
Massachusetts
Board
of

as

for

has
chaired
the

Rabbi
torts
is
also
the
child
of
a
Holocaust
survivor.
The
rabbi
is
well
known
for
inspiring
his
congregants
with
his
stirring
sermons
and
mellifluous
voice.
L
Populist
movements
veering
more
and
more
into
shades
of
fascism
and
certainly
into
Holocaust
distortion,
trivialization
and
denial.
A
number
of
people
running
for
office
in
this
great
and
free
republic
are
very
disturbing
to
us.
One
of
them
had
called
the
Shoah.
The
biggest
and
blackest
lie
in
history
that
in
this
country,
2/3
of
Millennials,
not
that
I
stereotyped
any
group,
but
it
gives
us
a
sense
of
truth,
even
not
knowing
the
name
outfits
and
a
large
percentage
of
the
world's
population,
knowing
nothing
at
all
of
this.
L
Nazi
images
blatantly
applied
to
the
State
of
Israel,
as
we
view
beyond
her
obvious
enemies.
As
we
view,
assaults
from
the
left,
as
well
as
the
right
Abbas
and
others,
stating
that
in
the
1930s
and
40s
Jews
brought
the
decimation
upon
themselves
through
business
practices
and
usurious
interest,
vicious
violence
against
the
so
call
others
worldwide
not
to
describe
as
I
briefly
will
what
is
happening
to
our
brothers
and
sisters,
all
over
Europe
and
here
in
ways
as
well.
L
L
L
L
He
simply
doubts
their
capacity
to
do
so,
and
you
recall
what
General
Eisenhower
said
that
the
order
of
concentration
camp
as
he
witnessed
what
had
happened
there
liberated
in
1945,
he
said,
take
pictures
bear
witness
Chronicle
at
film
it
because
someday
someone
will
say
this
is
pure
propaganda.
It
never
really
happened.
L
L
Historically,
are
so
very,
very
short,
but
truth
cannot
afford
to
be
to
rekindle
for
us
of
all
ages.
The
dedication
required
to
be
resilient,
as
we
recall
in
our
fractured
and
perilous
times,
an
inexplicable
and
horrific
tragedy
and
act
upon
such
darkness
in
ways
that
uplift
inspire
in
potent
powerful
and
concrete
ways,
broken
glass,
somehow
paving
a
path
to
fortitude.
L
A
brief
personal
note,
my
mother
of
blessed
memory
was
born
in
Poland,
grew
up
in
a
little
shtetl
called
the
aschen
off-key
I
have
pictures
of
him
and
of
her
there.
She
went
to
the
game
nausea
in
Bialystok
and
came
to
these
shores
in
1935
only
because
her
rabbinic
father,
to
whom
I
was
very
close
in
the
1920,
said,
there's
no
future
for
Jews
in
Poland,
not
even
thinking
of
Hitler
and
became
a
United
States
citizen,
but
his
brother
Herschel
lived
in
Philadelphia.
L
Every
person
with
whom
my
mother
grew
up
with
to
a
person
was
murdered
every
one.
My
dad
also
son
of
a
European
rabbi.
His
dad
died
young
after
he
gave
ad
Russia
a
sermonette
in
his
little
shtetl
shul
and
got
pneumonia
and
then
passed.
My
dad
went
to
Slovakia
Sheva.
He
grew
up
in
Janish
kel.
Also,
a
little
stepping
in
Lithuania
Slovakia
was
the
greatest
center
of
Eastern
European
learning
of
the
day.
L
His
godfather
his
bris
was
a
part
of
his
Arab
kaanum
in
a
great
rabbinic
figure.
Indeed,
my
dad
left
home
early.
Luckily
for
him,
and
he
became
a
diamond
dealer
in
Paris
and
in
Antwerp
and
because
of
his
success,
he
was
able
in
1941
to
hire
a
guide
who
took
him
over
the
Pyrenees
to
Spain
Cuba
and
the
United
States.

of
our
people
transformed
into
ashes
I
studied
Talmud
with
Elie
Wiesel
at
the
seminary
and
the
Shah
Lieberman.
He
was
my
cab
Russa,
so
we
really
got
to
know
each
other
very
well
and
when
Elie
Wiesel
was
asked,
what
did
the
world
learn
from
the
Holocaust?
He
answered
that
it
can
get
away
with
it
not
hard
to
apply
that
answer
today.
He.
L
The
astonishing
rise
in
Jew
hatred
put
on
a
keeper
and
I'll
mention
both
countries
and
cities,
not
only
in
Poland
but
in
ways
as
well
in
Berlin,
Paris,
London,
Antwerp
Budapest,
where
the
Jews
Soros
is
vilified
and
caricatured
as
an
enemy
of
the
state
and
posters
all
over
Hungary,
but
even
in
Italy
Greece
Copenhagen,
yes,
Denmark,
where
Jews
were
advised
by
the
Israeli
ambassador.
Hide
your
keep
boat,
show
no
signs
of
who
you
really
are
and
speak
Hebrew
very,
very
softly.
L
Again,
Brett
Stevens
thinking
about
Europe
Road
to
be
visibly
Jewish
in
Europe,
visibly
Jewish
is
to
live
on
borrowed
time,
even
in
Crown
Heights
assaults
on
Jews
coming
back
from
their
prayer
services,
not
to
speak
of
what's
happening
here.
As
has
been
mentioned,
high
school
gyms,
cafeterias,
washrooms,
cemeteries,
March
is
Leslie,
College,
others
attacks
within
this
very
Commonwealth
and
nationwide,
and
so
it
was
in
the
fourth
century
that
we
find
one
of
the
earliest
images
of
broken
glass.
L
Familiar
to
any
of
you
who
have
ever
attended
a
Jewish
wedding.
Permit
me
just
to
briefly
cite
the
Aramaic
from
the
Talmud
moderator
of
inna
allaha
Lula,
d'avray,
Susannah,
Mara
Bonin,
to
have
a
cavity
tuvo.
I
say
cosa
democra,
but
alabama
uses
a
with
vodka.
My
overachiever
Mar,
the
son
of
Raveena,
a
fourth
century
figure,
made
a
wedding
feast
for
his
son
and
he
saw
that
the
guests
and
sages
were
excessively
boisterous.
L
M
L
Is
accurate,
the
psalmist
said,
Eve
duetathon
idea
of
a
gila
bearded
are
served
the
Lord
with
fear
and
rejoice
with
trembling.
Life
is
an
admixture
of
joy
and
trembling
weeping
and
joy,
trembling
and
joy.
When
there
is
rejoicing,
we
must
be
simultaneously
mindful
of
the
wreckage
of
our
past
glory.
We
say
at
a
wedding
in
escrow,
a
fuchsia
lime.
L
If
I
forget
thee,
O
Jerusalem,
let
my
right
hand
get
it
coming
and
where
there
is
trembling,
as
we
tremble
today
with
our
recollections,
we
also
must
find
reasons,
as
others
have
said
before
me
today,
to
hope
to
persevere
to
triumph
even
to
rejoice,
rededication
to
resiliency
more
important
than
ever
before
in
our
history.
That
is
the
essence,
and
this
is
the
last
reference
I'll
make
to
a
rabbinic
insight
to
breakage
spirit,
rock,
a
limb.
The
breakage
of
the
vessels
broken
glass,
God,
withdrew
into
himself
shrunk
himself
contracted
himself.
L
L
Letter
came
to
repair
what
was
broken
to
recapture
those
divine
sparks
to
reunite
them.
How,
through
the
way
in
which
we
live
through
our
goodness,
our
courage,
our
vision,
our
foresight,
our
resilience,
our
determination,
grasping
and
collecting
that
life
at
least
some
scintilla
of
it
in
it's
often
cataclysmic
and
painful
absence.
L
6
million
never
again
to
be
touched,
never
again
to
be
embraced.
Loved
and
my
question
to
you
today
and
the
sparks
of
their
vanished
lives.
Can
the
divine
sparks
everywhere
dormant?
Can
they
be
restored?
Can
each
of
us,
through
compassion,
heroism,
vigilance,
vitality,
outspoken,
resistance
to
all
who
seek
to
vilify
demonize
and
destroy?
L
L
L
M
L
L
Have
here
a
picture,
it's
a
very
small
picture.
You
can't
see
it.
I
could
show
it
to
some
of
you
later.
It's
an
original
picture.
It's
a
picture
of
my
mother's
first
cousin,
whose
name
was
label
he
established
in
Warsaw
a
factory
manufacturing,
beautiful
women's
clothes.
He
might
have
been
the
Polish
version
of
the
young,
Calvin
Klein
or
Ralph
Lauren.
L
He
walks
down
the
street
elegantly
dressed
and
interestingly
light-colored,
hair
and
blue
eyes.
When
the
Germans
entered
Warsaw,
he
gave
over
his
factory
to
the
Polish
foremen
and
he
said,
run
it
when
the
Germans
leave
I'll.
Take
it
back
well,
when
the
Russians
got
close
to
Warsaw
about
to
enter
and
the
Germans
were
leaving
the
Polish
Foreman
went
to
the
Gestapo,
he
said:
listen
a
Jew
owns
this
Factory
and
I
know.
L
Where
he's
hiding
labels
sister,
who
was
a
medical
student,
also
tall
blue-eyed
and
light
haired,
but
they
both
were
able
to
hide
from
the
Destroyers.
Because
of
that
she
got
wind
of
it
and
she
ran
at
his
apartment
to
warn
him.
The
Gestapo
caught
them
both
and
shot
them
dead
in
the
apartment,
murdering.
L
Than
even
escaping
the
Russians,
and
on
the
back
of
this
picture
in
beautiful
Hebrew
script,
he
wrote
label
did
Lamaze
carat
Netta,
miss
pocket,
Eisenstein,
Lynch,
CEO,
Tom,
Lee
America
as
a
for
a
member
reminder
to
the
Eisenstein
family,
my
mom's
family,
on
their
trip
to
America
love
label,
and
he
also
signed
it
with
the
name
of
this
factory
fashion.
We're
like
a
fashionista.
L
These
little
examples
speak
to
all
of
us.
I
studied
Talmud
in
the
seminary
with
David
weitzel
Livni
Weiss
was
at
a
Munich
genius.
Already
at
11
and
12
years
old,
he
was
ripped
out
of
in
the
same
town
as
Wiesel
ziget,
almost
the
same
age,
every
member
of
his
family
was
murdered.
He
survived
as
a
kid
maybe
16.
He
was
a
stone
worker
helping
to
build
a
tunnel
in
the
Wolfsburg
concentration
camps.
He
told
us
this
story
in
class
in
the
seminary
and
then
put
it
in
his
book
sort
of
the
book.
L
N
L
That
wrapper
was
kept
as
a
treasure.
It
was
given
to
a
guy
named
Moshe
Finkelstein
one
of
the
inmates,
together
with
Weiss
and
taken
out
at
services
that
they
secretly
held
connected
them
to
everything
that
was
treasured
by
them
in
the
life
robbed
away
when
they
would
take
in
Weiss
and
Finkelstein
to
the
Evan
C
extermination.
Camp
Finkelstein,
collapsed,
Weiss,
whispered
him
and
said:
where
is
the
blat
all
the
little?
He
says?
Don't
worry,
I
have
it
in
my
hip.
L
He
died
and
before
they
could
get
it,
he
was
taken
Finkelstein
to
the
crematorium
and
his
body,
and
the
blessing
went
up
with
him
now
I
ask
you
David
Weiss,
who
lived
near
what
90
or
91,
is
still
teaching
in
Bar
Ilan
University
in
Israel.
He
can't
bring
back
Moshe,
Finkelstein
or
any
of
the
rest,
but
by
spending
a
lifetime
disseminating
timeless
Jewish
wisdom.
L
He
went
to
the
shoreland
Manhattan
of
the
klausenburg
already
who
had
lost
his
wife
and
twelve
kids
to
the
Shoah,
and
they
were
reading
the
curses
from
the
book
of
Deuteronomy,
and
you
know
those
of
you
who
attend
xual
regularly
that
when
the
curses
read
the
one
who
reads
them
reads
them
in
an
undertone.
Nobody
wants
to
read
them
out
loud.
No
one
wants
the
honor
of
being
close
to
the
toner
for
those
curses,
usually
the
poor
guy.
L
Reading
the
Torah
is
the
one
calls
up
and,
as
he
read
them
in
an
undertone
the
klausenburg,
the
Rebbe
risk
and
saw
this.
He
was
there
when
her
read
them
louder
as
I
looked
at
him
and
he
banged
his
stand
again.
The
clouds
over
there
he
said
I
want
them,
read
aloud
at
this
point.
The
congregation
figured
he
was
losing
his
mind,
given
the
losses
and
the
clouds
amber
rose,
and
he
said,
listen,
I'm,
not
losing
my
mind.
L
We've
already
experienced
the
curses
read
the
text
after
the
curses.
We
are
promised
by
God
a
blessing.
He
owes
us
the
blessing
to
go
to
Israel
to
do
what
we
want
to
do
read
them
aloud.
A
week
later,
the
clouds
of
Burger
and
many
of
his
disciples
went
to
Israel,
established
curious,
sounds
and
a
very
famous
hospital,
the
LA
diono
hospital
one
man's
ability
to
take
the
curses
the
trembling
and
in
some
way
transform
it
into
joy.
L
L
See
my
friend
wolde
Oxbow,
your
voice
is
so
resonant.
It's
unbelievable.
The
most
resonant
voice,
I've
ever
heard,
there's
a
resident
man
in
every
way.
So
you
went
you
moja.
That
might
have
seen
something
that
speaks
to
us,
as
the
other
examples
do
and
gives
us
a
responsibility.
One
of
the
items
is
a
jacket
made
by
an
SS
man
on
one
of
the
camps
made
for
him
by
an
anonymous
Jewish
tailor.
L
L
L
L
Can
we
really
comprehend
the
mindset
of
the
Warsaw
Ghetto
fighters
even
more
astonishing
than
the
American
revolutionaries,
whose
spirit
and
habits
this
Fanueil
Hall
endless
resistance
to
tyranny,
with
no
odds
at
all
in
your
favor,
not
to
mention
armed
resistance
in
Bialystok
in
the
death
camps
of
Treblinka
and
Sobibor
and
countless
smaller
towns
are
no
better
than
Boris
love
or
the
personal
heroism
in
this
room
he
is
the
arbiter.
The
survival
could
not
be
adequately
described
by
Spielberg's
best
movie.
L
He
could
never
encompass
what
happened
to
Izzy
and
I
was
wife,
Kanta
now
Anna
saved
his
life
and
together
established
a
family
here
with
children,
grandchildren
and
I
believe
great
grandchildren,
as
is
he
has
spread
his
wisdom
to
countless
venues
all
over
the
country.
Can
anyone
understand
the
power
of
a
Abram,
as
in
ski,
a
blessed
memory
who
jumped
into
a
pit
that
his
friend
had
been
thrown
into
and
I
was
about
to
be
killed
by
a
naughty
and
said?
L
Don't
do
it
he's
a
great
worker
for
some
reason,
the
Nazi
listen
to
the
guy
out
took
a
bow.
The
man
is
alive
of
children
and
grandchildren.
Today,
because
Abe
is
a
16
or
17
year
old
jumped
into
the
bid
to
stop
him.
Can
anyone
fully
understand
the
story
of
Steve
Ross,
magically
transmuting
unspeakable
dread
and
terror
and
death
touched
by
an
American
GI
and
with
that
touch
deciding
to
basically
devote
an
entire
lifetime
to
uplifting
disadvantaged
youth
who
have
achieved
mightily
because
of
Steve
breathing
life
into
theirs?
L
Can
you
explain
not
only
the
courage
but
the
ingathering
of
divine
race,
despite
vessels
so
broken
and
experiences
beyond
our
most
sinister
imaginings
trembling
into
hope?
The
broken
wedding
goblet,
the
smashed
storefront
of
crystal
de
the
damaged
Boston
memorial,
six
million
vessels
vanished
forever,
and
yet
we
can
and
will
embrace
their
divine
sparks
their
essence.
L
The
last
words
are
those
of
the
twenty
year-old
Nathan
Katz
I
received
his
family's
permission.
He
just
came
back
from
Poland
and
this
is
what
he
wrote
talking
about.
Millennials,
never
underestimate
them
on
the
darkest
of
nights.
Light
still
shines
when
I
stood
before
a
mass
grave
in
a
forest
that
held
the
remains
of
300
Jewish
kids
murdered
in
a
three-day
period.
It
wasn't
only
sadness.
I
had
tears
of
joy
because
of
the
letter
my
parents
wrote
me
who
said
to
me:
you
are
the
link
to
the
Jewish
future.
L
Live
love,
grow,
rich
and
happy,
and
Noah
wrote,
I,
feel
honored
and
privileged
to
be
a
young
Jew
that
has
the
opportunity
of
making
a
legacy
for
those
who
never
had
the
chance
to
were
denied
their
tomorrow.
How
amazing
it
is
that
I
know
a
cat's
with
the
same
name:
personality
as
those
in
these
pits
had
I

as
well
as

destruction

with
the
intent

Jewish
communities.

Those
shattered
shards
of
glass,
though
an
unfortunate
and
senseless
act,
have
served
as
a
powerful
lesson
to

It

the
infamous
attacks

that
night,
to
which
I

institutions
in
the
city.
It
gave
children
an
opportunity
to
study.
In
a
Jewish
environment,
my
parents
arrived
from
Blessed
LA
from
Galicia
after
World
War,
one
in
search
of
a
better
living
condition.
F
They
settled
near
relatives
and
friends
from
the
same
region
and
Poland
belong
to
the
same
schema.
They
earned
a
living
selling
merchandise,
to
James
German
laborers
on
credit.
No
credit
cards
then
and
established
a
family
of
four
children.
Three
boys
and
one
girl,
when
my
two
older
brothers
reached
the
age
of
four.
They
started
Heder
where
they
continued
or
started
to
study
Hebrew
as
a
fitted,
a
Jewish
boy
in
our
environment.
As
all
of
us
reached
the
age
of
six,
we
were
involved
in
the
Jewish
day
school,
where
we
studied
Jewish
subjects.
F
In
addition
to
secular
topics
as
well,
our
family
life
was
traditional.
We
observed
all
the
holidays
stressed
Jewish
learning.
At
the
same
time,
my
parents
were
Zionists
implanting
in
me
the
love
for
Eretz
Israel
from
the
time
I
was
little.
This
love
was
reinforced
by
the
studies
and
atmosphere
in
when
I
reached
the
age
of
8.
I
was
old
enough
to
join
a
Zionist
youth
group
that
strengthened
my
connection
to
the
land
of
my
dreams.
It
is
because
of
this
that,
as
a
child,
I
felt
safe
and
secure
from
the
outside
world.
F
That
is,
until
the
faithful
elections
in
Germany
that
changed
the
lives
of
European
Jewry
forever.
By
the
time
Hitler
came
to
power
in
1933,
the
Jewish
population
of
flesh
Lao
was
around
22,000.
It
took
time
before
the
impact
of
the
Nazi
laws
were
felt
and
before
reactions
to
these
laws,
slowly
changed
our
lives.
F
The
urgency
of
leaving
Germany
was
a
topic
more
widespread
than
not
among
the
Polish
Jews,
who
felt
less
secure
in
Germany
than
those
who
had
lived
in
Germany
for
generations
who
could
not
fathom
that
their
fatherland
would
harm
them,
let
alone
expel
them.
Science
of
open
hostility
and
anti-semitism
constantly
increased.
F
The
Nuremberg
Laws
and
announced
in
1935
made
it
clear
that
restrictions
against
Jews
would
constantly
increase
from
that
time.
On.
Jewish
professionals
could
no
longer
have
any
contact
with
Aryans
Jewish
actors
were
banned
from
performing
Jewish.
Businesses
were
boycotted,
parks
and
places
of
recreation
were
out
of
bounds
for
Jews
Jewish
children
were
expelled
from
public
school
world
that
man
that
our
school,
the
Jewish
school,
had
to
absorb
this
youngsters
family,
suicided
and
smaller
towns.
Without
Jewish,
schools
sent
its
children
to
the
orphanage
in
Breslau
so
that
they
could
continue
their
education.
F
Our
classes
were
overcrowded
and
during
ebo
instructions,
I
found
myself
sitting
next
to
a
seventh
grader,
whose
knowledge
of
evil
was
minimal.
The
rooms
of
the
Jewish
community
near
the
star
synagogue
that
had
been
used
for
religious
instructions
only
now
became
a
regular
classroom
for
these
children.
F
From
that
time,
on
my
parents,
business
suffered
greatly
my
parents
who
look
Jewish,
we're
no
longer
welcomed
by
the
German
customers.
They
requested
that
I,
the
only
one
in
the
family
was
blonde
hair
and
blue
eyes
take
over
the
task
of
collecting
money.
That
meant
that
every
Sunday
morning,
I
accompanied
my
mother
and
while
she
waited
downstairs,
I
ascended
the
stairs
from
floor
to
floor
ringing,
doorbells
hoping
to
get
some
money
in
the
beginning.
I
was
successful,
but
after
time
most
Germans
refused
to
pay
and
really.
Why
should
they
Hitler
say?
F
Propaganda
had
made
an
impact.
Many
had
joined
the
Nazi
Party,
believing
Hitler's
promises
for
better
larger
Germany
youngsters
joint
the
Hitler
unit
eager
to
flex
the
muscles
when
walking
with
my
little
brother
boys,
older
than
I,
was
attacked
him
now.
I,
don't
know
whether
it
was
courage
of
foolishness
but
I
always
fought
back.
F
When
Hitler
came
to
the
city
to
speak,
we
could
not
escape
his
menacing
voice.
Loudspeakers
were
set
up
in
every
corner
if
I
happen
to
be
downstairs
that
hysterical
voice
followed
me
wherever
I
went.
On
the
other
hand,
I
was
mesmerised
by
the
marching
bands
of
the
Nazis,
the
loud
rhythmic
music,
accompanied
accompanied
by
the
most
boisterous
songs.
F
Enchanted
me,
it
was
contagious.
I
find
myself
a
Jewish
girl,
marching
along
with
the
Nazis
until
the
session
was
a
shock.
I
realized
what
I
was
doing.
I
had
another
very
strange
fascination
I
had
discovered
the
Sturmer,
a
newspaper
published
by
Julius
Streicher.
Since
1925
it
was
filled
with
eight
articles
and
caricatures
of
Jews.
It
was
displaced
on
a
kiosk
near
where
we
lived
at
first
when
I
looked
at
it.
I
was
only
shocked,
but
I
could
not
stop.
F
Reading
I
was
devastated
that
humans
could
write
such
cruelties
about
others
walking
in
the
streets
of
West
Life
West
now
I
could
not
help,
but
look
at
the
showcases
of
stores
owned
by
Jews,
and
we
time
and
time
again
Aryans
do
not
buy
from
Jews
Jews
go
to
Palestine
death
to
the
Jews
reading.
This
frightened
me
I
knew
that
I
did
not
belong
in
this
country.
That
I
did
not
want
to
live
in
that
country
in
this
atmosphere.
Time
pass
slowly
and
sadly,
yet.
F
I
found
safety,
security
and
comfort
in
our
school
and
the
Zionist
youth
movement.
Our
home
and
meeting
with
friends
I
continued
to
dream
that
soon
I
might
be
in
Eretz
Israel
working
as
a
holiday.
A
pioneer
studying
to
become
a
teacher
I
still
have
the
composition
that
I
wrote
in
school.
At
that
time
there
is
no
future
for
me
in
Germany.
Even
if
I
could
study
to
become
a
teacher.
No
one
would
give
me
a
position.
I
wrote
this
when
I
was
all
of
12
years
old.
F
F
My
mother,
rifle
II,
assumed
that
men
would
be
the
first
ones
to
be
arrested
by
the
Nazis,
and
so
a
visa
for
my
father
was
urgent
and
obtained
by
bribe.
November,
2nd
1938
was
to
be
the
departure
date.
For
my
father,
due
to
one
of
my
friends
and
name,
was
Alice,
whose
father
was
the
liaison
between
the
Jewish
community
in
the
Gestapo.
F
Now
November
2nd
did
arrive
the
fateful
day
when
I
had
to
polish
my
father
standing
at
the
railroad
station.
Clinging
to
my
father
was
the
saddest
day
of
my
life.
I
did
not
want
to
let
go
of
him
crying
and
consolidation
and
gently
disengaged
my
fingers
and
took
me
to
her
home.
My
mother
had
accompanied
my
father
in
trombone.
F
By
now,
my
father
was
well
on
his
way
to
America
after
dinner,
regarded
her
on
the
radio
taking
a
chance
to
listen
to
the
BBC
to
hear
the
latest
news
from
London
commentators
who
speculated
about
hitless
next
moves
he
already
at
the
next
Austria
and
we
thought
which
country
might
be
next.
His
Chris
quest
for
additional
layman's
mom
was
insatiable,
but
finally,
we
went
to
bed
suddenly
sounds
of
breaking
glass
peace,
the
Silence
of
the
night,
followed
by
a
chorus
of
shouting
voices.
In
no
time
at
all.
F
We
all
rushed
into
the
living
room
and
carefully
parted
the
curtains.
We
were
shocked
to
see
the
scene
below
us
groups
of
men,
some
in
uniform
arrests,
not
breaking
the
show
windows
of
a
large
hardware
store
whose
owners
were
Jewish.
We
witnessed
the
looting
of
the
merch
nice.
He
heard
the
cursing
and
shouting
of
Gioia
by
these
drugs.
F
We
quickly
retreated
from
the
window,
not
knowing
the
meaning
of
the
scene
below
us.
My
mother
concerned
that
the
police
might
come
to
arrest
us
that
he
might
be
separated,
gave
each
one
of
us
some
money.
Then
she
urged
us
to
go
back
to
sleep.
That
was
easier
said
than
done
early
in
the
morning.
When
the
bell
rang,
we
ready
for
the
worst.
F
We
did
not
have
to
worry
at
the
door
with
friends
of
my
older
brothers
who
were
seeking
shelter
with
us.
They
told
us
that
this
time
the
police
are
arresting
German
Jews,
not
the
poles.
One
reported
that,
while
the
Gestapo
entered
his
apartment
from
the
front
door,
he
escaped
from
the
back.
There
was
no
question
that
we
would
shelter
anyone
who
needed
a
place
to
hide
only
two
weeks
earlier
when
the
Polish
Jews
faced
deportation.
F
My
German
Jewish
teacher
work
at
me
welcomed
me
to
stay
there
overnight
at
his
house,
yet
we
still
have
no
information
as
to
the
meaning
and
magnitude
of
the
actions
during
the
night.
By
now,
the
phone
began
to
ring
again
and
again
and
again
my
uncles
and
friends
caught
my
mother
was
the
following
request,
said
Esther
out.
No
one
will
stop
her.
Let
her
go
to
my
store,
see
what
happens
there.
Perhaps
you
will
find
out
what
all
this
means.
I
willingly
accept.
The
assignment
took
my
coat
and
left
walking
around
the
corner.
F
It
was
not
long
before
I,
smelled,
burning
of
books
and
parchment
I
did
not
need
any
explanation
to
know
what
it
meant.
As
I
came.
Closer
I
saw
that
the
noise
synagogue
was
on
fire.
My
thoughts
turned
to
the
star
synagogue,
my
favorite
place
of
worship,
since
it
was
not
located
located
on
the
road
that
I
was
to
take
I
continued
on
my
mission
store
after
Jewish
store
was
destroyed,
windows,
smashed
merchandise,
stolen
I,
encountered
police
and
plainclothes
men
in
the
midst
Jewish
men,
but
I
imagined,
rightfully
that
they
would
be
taken
to
the
police.
F
F
Who
must
had
it
that
this
action
had
be
taken
in
retaliation
after
shooting
on
for
not
a
journey
German
employee
in
the
German
Embassy
in
Paris
by
a
young
Jewish
man
named
hassel
greenspan.
It
was
obvious
that
that
was
a
mere
excuse.
An
attack
of
this
magnitude
required
preparation
could
not
have
been
executed
at
a
moment's
notice.
F
F
It
took
me
a
few
days
before
I
was
able
to
go
to
most
meaningful
places.
In
my,
the
school
building
was
standing
as
before.
That's
what's
the
Jewish
orphanage
and
the
Jewish
Hospital
miss
reputation.
I
walked
to
Val
Stasi
to
check
on
the
shore.
Synagogue,
the
outside
of
the
building,
while
damaged,
seems
to
be
intact,
but
the
inside
was
sacked
full
of
destruction.
I
then
walked
across
the
street.
I
looked
at
the
Jewish
Theological
Seminary,
which
was
located
then,
but
all
I
could
see
were
ruins.
F
Destruction
I
was
heartbroken
at
this
moment,
I
realized
more
than
ever
that
my
life
in
Breslau
had
come
to
an
end.
This
night,
November
9th
1938,
became
known
as
Kristallnacht
the
night
of
broken
glass.
It
became
part
of
the
Nazis
path
to
destruction
incarceration
and
the
eventual
killing
of
Jews.
It
was
the
beginning
of
the
end
for
the
Jewish
communities
in
Europe,
yet
the
remnant
of
survivors
could
not
be
defeated.
They
found
new
homes
in
England
in
America,
in
Argentina,
in
Australia,
scattered
in
all
corners
of
the
world.
F
Most
importantly,
they
came
home
to
Eretz
Israel.
They
established
Medina
Israel,
the
State
of
Israel
they
married
and
had
children,
grandchildren
and
together
these
generations
are
keeping
our
traditions
in
our
dreams
alive.
But
what
about
Europe?
In
the
year
2010
I
had
the
privilege,
accompanied
by
my
family,
to
attend
the
dedication
of
the
star
synagogue.
F
Imagine
72
years
after
Christine
left
the
synagogue
stood
in
front
of
me
in
all
its
glory.
The
interior
was
reconstructed
the
way
I
remembered
it
and
in
the
audience
that
night,
with
dignitaries
of
all
kind,
as
well
as
clergy
of
every
denomination
lectures
were
held
in
the
centuries-old
national
university
led
by
the
Faculty
of
a
Judaic
department.
F
Imagine
a
university
that
once
admitted
only
a
restricted
number
of
Jews
now
features
an
important
and
respected
Judaic
Department.
Unbelievable.
A
visit
to
my
old
school
was
another
surprise.
It
is
now
once
more
a
Jewish
school.
True,
40
percent
of
the
students
are
not
Jewish,
but
they
come
there
because
the
school
is
better.
The
Jewish
community
of
questa
is
not
larger
than
about
300
people,
but
we
are
here
remnant
determined
to
keep
the
flame
of
Judaism
alive.
F
We
met
there
with
18
teens
from
Germany
and
Poland,
obviously
not
Jewish,
and
we
were
there
to
tell
them
our
stories
and
to
hear
very
actions
and
thoughts
about
to
show
our
their
desire
to
learn
from
us.
Their
struggle
to
accept
the
deeds
of
grandparents.
Of
that
Grand
Palace
generation
was
evident.
F
F
Here
outside
this
building,
we
face
a
monument
comprised
of
six
last
hours.
They
represent
six
million
of
our
families.
They
were
cruelly
murdered
by
the
Nazis.
This
edifice
was
dedicated
twenty
years
ago.
As
a
lasting
reminder
of
the
show,
our
last
year's
summon
damaged
one
of
the
monuments,
it
has
been
repaired
and
it
is
here
to
proclaim
no
more

prompt,
invited
students
in
grades
6
through
12,
to
write
400
to
800
word
essays
grappling
with
this
concept.
In
the
past
year.
Our
own
Boston
community
was
outraged
when
not
once
but
twice,
acts
of
vandalism
were
committed
at
the
New

Holocaust
Memorial,
resulting
in
two
shattered
glass
panels.
Q
The
shattered
glass
evokes

night
of
broken
glass
in
1938,
as
this
year
marks
the
80th
anniversary
of
that
fateful
event.
We
challenge
our

take
this
time
as
an
opportunity
to
reflect
on
the
power
of
individuals,
groups
and

not
just
in
an
historical
context,
but
in

S
T
Generations
of
Jews,
whose
lives
have
sparkled,
who
have
been
builders
of
culture,
science,
art
bequeathed
their
dreams,
their
hopes,
their
aspirations
to
new
generations.
Strong
and
determined
crystal
glass
in
all
its
beauty
is
bound
to
break,
but
we,
the
inheritors
of
dreams,
hopes
aspirations
will
not
be
broken,
will
not
be
destroyed.
M
U
U
God
full
of
mercy
who
dwells
on
high
grant
proper
rest
of
the
wings
of
the
Divine
Presence
to
the
lofty
levels
of
the
holy
and
pure
ones,
who
shine
like
the
glow.
The
firmament
for
the
souls
of
those
holy
and
pure
ones,
who
were
murdered,
killed
slaughtered
burned,
drowned
strangled
for
the
sanctification
of
the
name
through
the
hands
of
their
Nazi
oppressors.
May
their
name
and
memory
be
obliterated
without
making
a
vow.
U
I
will
contribute
to
the
charity
and
money
in
the
memory
of
the
victims
and
may
their
resting
place
be
in
the
Garden
of
Eden.
Therefore,
may
the
Master
of
Mercy
shelter
them
the
protection
of
God's
wings
for
eternity
and
may
God
bind
their
souls
in
the
bond
of
life
God
as
their
heritage
and
may
the
repose
and
peace
on
their
resting
places,
and,
let
us
say,
I
made.

It's
