Kristallnacht
Kristallnacht is the first in my series of photo narratives; true events that reflect the myriad portrayals of human injustice. "Kristallnacht," tells the story of two lovers who grew up
together in a little village outside of Munich and are now forced by history to go their separate ways- one to kill and the other to be killed.
In this time of light vs. dark, good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, we have a responsibility to speak out
against all forms hate and violence and use the magic and majesty of the human spirit to push back against those that spread the malignancy of hate, for the sins of the past have now come back to haunt us
The story is fiction. The reality is not.
