Music rescued from the ruins of Kristallnacht was heard in New York City for the first time Sunday during “Spread the Light,” Yad Vashem USA Foundation’s annual commemoration marking the 88th anniversary of the November Pogrom. The selections came from a handwritten choir songbook that survived the burning of Mannheim’s Klaus Synagogue.
