I have plenty of information on the history of it, but I need to know how people remember it currently.

Answer 1

it isn't about "celebrate" but about commemorate. videos, readings, discussing the history...all things to trigger memory and stress current relevance.

Answer 2

Many decades later, association with the Kristallnacht anniversary was cited as the main reason against choosing November 9, the day the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, as the new German national holiday; a different day was chosen (October 3, 1990, German reunification).

Avantgarde guitarist Gary Lucas's 1988 composition "Verklärte Kristallnacht", which juxtaposes the Israeli national anthem, "Hatikvah," with phrases from "Deutschland Über Alles" amid wild electronic shrieks and noise, is intended to be a sonic representation of the horrors of Kristallnacht. It was premiered at the 1988 Berlin Jazz Festival and received rave reviews. (The title is a reference to Arnold Schoenberg's 1899 work "Verklärte Nacht" that presaged his pioneering work on atonal music; Schoenberg was an Austrian Jew exiled by the Nazis). This composition heavily influenced John Zorn's 1993 concept album Kristallnacht, which used much the same concept and techniques as Lucas.

The German Power Metal band Masterplan's debut album (also titled "Masterplan" and released in 2003) features an anti-nazism song entitled "Crystal Night" as the fourth track.

Answer 4

Thy house doth fall in disrespect.
Thy words do spew of offal.
Thy body fills with thy Rot.
Thou art a Troll.
Thou art a bigot.
Thou art an apostate of thine own religion.
Thy God doth abhor thee.
