Kristallnacht,
an evening considered by many to mark the beginning of the Holocaust,
was commemorated in a Tuesday, November 10, concert by the 160-voice
Ithaca College Chorus. The concert for Kristallnacht ("Night
of the Broken Glass") was held at Temple Beth-El in Ithaca
and featured a presentation of Robert Convery’s Songs
of Children, a 41-minute cantata of nine poems written by
children who were interned at the Terezin ghetto before being
sent to die at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
