L'shanah Tovah!

For the occasion, here's a great piece about a shofar that survived Auschwitz:

On Rosh Hashanah, a note blown on this ram’s horn will echo all the way from Auschwitz
by Chaim Steinmetz, the senior rabbi of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun in New York.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/29/rosh-hashanah-note-blown-this-rams-horn-will-echo-all-way-auschwitz/

Schwartz says her father, tasked with organizing work details of fellow prisoners, helped a group of pious men to celebrate Rosh Hashanah that year. Tydor dispatched them to perform less-supervised tasks that day, enabling them to say the High Holiday prayers undetected. When they returned, they told Tydor that the covert service had even included the blowing of a shofar that had been kept hidden for that purpose....

In January 1945, as the Russian army began to advance, the German guards moved Auschwitz inmates westward from occupied Poland into Germany... At the beginning of the journey, according to Schwartz’s account, a prisoner handed the rag-wrapped shofar to Tydor, saying he was certain to die on the trip but wanted the world to know that the shofar had been blown at Auschwitz.

Gently I stir a white feather fan,
With open shirt sitting in a green wood.
I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone;
A wind from the pine-tree trickles on my bare head.
