  The breaking of chiral symmetry in holographic light-front QCD is encoded in
its longitudinal dynamics with its chiral limit protected by the superconformal
algebraic structure which governs its transverse dynamics. The scale in the
longitudinal light-front Hamiltonian determines the confinement strength in
this direction: It is also responsible for most of the light meson ground state
mass consistent with the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner constraint. Longitudinal
confinement and the breaking of chiral symmetry are found to be different
manifestations of the same underlying dynamics as found in 't Hooft large $N_C$
QCD(1 + 1) model.
