Kristallnact 1938

by Lingling Bao-Smith aged 13

Innocent Jewish people
Houses burnt to the ground
Windows smashed into shards
The night of broken glass

Two days and nights
People got beaten
Over one thousand synagogues charred and lifeless
Seven thousand five hundred Jewish businesses ransacked

Over ninety one Jews dead
Thirty thousand Jewish men arrested
For being Jewish
Concentration camps became larger

In the night of broken glass
