presents

A Candlelight Vigil to commemorate the

73rd Anniversary of Kristallnacht,

The "Night of Broken Glass"
Wednesday, November 9, 2011
7:00 p.m.

     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 remembrance commemorating Kristallnacht.  The service will end with an active commitment to love, healing and peace for the world. 

      The  Dance of the Broken Glass (originated in 2006) will be performed by Cecily Campbell and Evan Copeland of the international dance company,  Shen Wei Dance Arts, accompanied by organist Warren Michel Swenson.   A prayer of remembrance will be offered by Cantor Daniel Neiden.

     St. John’s Pastor, Mark Erson, will preside.

All are welcome.
