Kristallnacht, Kristallnacht,
Night of broken glass,
Of shattered dreams, bad memories,
A night of horrors no other can surpass.

Kristallnachht, Kristallnacht,
Night of many tears,
Of harsh words spoken, families broken,
A night of many's deepest fears.

Kristallnacht, Kristallnacht,
Night of extinguished hope,
Of fire burning, Nazis murdering,
A night that danger came too close.

Kristallnacht, Kristallnacht,
Night of unending pain,
Of soldiers beating, mothers screaming,
A night as bad will never come again

Keith Andrew: Hey this is great, really captured the moment, the fear, the hatred, the tears. Very well done

Moroni’s Daughter: I liked the repetition. It made the message more powerful. Reading it from 3rd person was also amazing. It's sort of like watching it from a distance, and not being able to do anything about it. The words were distinct, and a bit graphic, which is entirely appropriate for the subject. I don't like the last line, though. It's a bit out of rhythym, and bad is a really weak adjective. Anyways, that's just a suggestion. -ttfn!

Misha34: its really a great poem. The holocaust was a terrible thing and we can never forget the torture people had to endure just because they were jewish. great job!

darksworn: good poem, depressing subject, excelent imagery, though used to describe something terrible. Keep writing, Good luck in high school, freshmen year was... interesting shall i say.

Saroull Rashkae: This is quite a lovely poem. A pity it's all true, but it's wonderfully written.

Softlycryingrain: yet again, great job! You do a great job of capturing the emotions. I especially like the rhyming and repetition of Kristallnacht, it really adds to the poem.

TenshiTaiyou: That gives you realization how the holocaust affected many people

Topaz Waters: Wonderful, the rhythms came together very well. You've captured the tragedy quite powerfully.

Walter Kokoro: War sucks... u described the feeling so well. and for us, who have never actually been in such situations, it's so hard to understand the pain... that was a really touching poem, very powerful! Never the same

Bleu Quill: Lovely through its sadness. My only suggestion would be to, possibly, have "Kristallnachht, Kristallnacht" as the final line to make the impact of the actual event. But that's only my opinion.

AthensAngel: Aww...Sad. I've always felt for people in the what my history teacher calls it "Holocaust Situation". Anyways I love the poem. Update your other stories soon! -AA) Happy writing!

DemonHunter89: Hey still love it even though this is the third time i read it your really good at this!
