If you have not yet added Brigitte Ringer-Nenner's new book to your
collection to remember Kristallnacht, there is still time to receive it
before the next anniversary on November 9th.
Brigitte was an eyewitness to this Nazi rampage that is considered to be
the start of the Holocaust. She watched her synagogue burn. She saw the
Nazis rampage through Berlin, taking Jewish men from their families. She
saw the Nazis destroy everything Jewish.
In her book, she writes of her eyewitness account, not only of
Kristallnacht, but also of many other experiences at the hands of the Nazis
in both prose and poetry.
Even before the Holocaust, as a young girl, Brigitte knew that she would
write poetically in the Jewish sphere. In Berlin in 1933, at 10, she wrote
"Jew, Where Is Your Country?".
"The Angel of Poetry was always there for me and happy to help, as early as
a time when I was a little girl, with blond curls, before I could even read
or write," Brigitte recalls.
"The Angel of Poetry even accompanied me during the Shoah, when I was not
yet an Angel...but hardly alive. Then in 1943, when the Angel of Poetry
came to me and said, 'I must break my promise to be with you, because, my
child, you are going to Hell, and Angels are not allowed in Hell.'"
"The Angel Of Poetry: A Poetic Perspective On Living Through The
Holocaust" includes a lost and found story of Brigitte's treasured book that
contained her childhood poetry. The book is lost after she is thrown off
the death transport cattle car on the way to the concentration camp. Years
after the war, the book finds its way back to her - something only The Angel
Of Poetry could have accomplished.
This 96 page, hard cover book, includes the story of her capture, poetry
remembering the horrors of the holocaust and a special selection of her
works that were written in the original German form. It is a powerful book.
The form and style of this book offers a new approach to explaining the
Holocaust to today's youth. When the reader closes this book, a new
understanding of the Holocaust will open.
