PROVIDENCE - On November 9, 1938, mankind turned the page to one of its darkest chapters.

Kristallnacht, the Night of the Broken Glass, marked the beginning of the atrocities of the Holocaust. German soldiers stormed through the Jewish communities of Germany and Austria, killing 100 people and imprisoning or deporting 30,000 more. This horrible event extended far past one night and ended with 6 million people dead.

On November 9, 2008, exactly 70 years to the day, the Veterans Memorial Auditorium will host an historic concert to commemorate this tragedy.

"Shining Through the Broken Glass," with guest narrator Leonard Nimoy, will begin at 7pm at the VMA. Tickets to this beautiful celebration of the European Jewish culture are available at http://specialevent.homestead.com/event.html.

But this horror is still playing out in the world, there is still genocide and horrific acts of brutality going on in North Korea's prison camps and Uganda's refugee camps. Man kind never turned the page...it's trying to look the other way, pretend the darkness is not there. When world wide genocide and horric acts agenst humanity have been eliminated from the world. Then we can say man kind turned the page.
