"Close Every Door" is a song from the musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice. In the musical, Joseph is jailed unjustly for a crime he did not commit, however, the song contains references to the Jewish Holocaust of World War II. Lyrics such as "Just give me a number/Instead of my name ... Destroy me completely/Then throw me away" depict the well-documented Nazi practices of tattooing numbers on imprisoned Jews and working them to death or gassing them in concentration camps, then burning the bodies or burying them in mass graves. The lyrics have even been incorporated into the Seder services by several congregations throughout the world. This music video is about the children of the holocaust and was created as a memorial to those who perished and to those who survived. Daniel P. Collins is the featured soloist.
