Holocaust Poem by Barbara Sonek
Holocaust
We played, we laughed
we were loved.
We were ripped from the arms of our
parents and thrown into the fire.
We were nothing more than children.
We had a future. We were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers. We had dreams, then we had no hope. We were taken away in the dead of night like cattle in cars, no air to breathe smothering, crying, starving, dying. Separated from the world to be no more. From the ashes, hear our plea. This atrocity to mankind can not happen again. Remember us, for we were the children whose dreams and lives were stolen away.
Heart-breaking - - inspired to keep the memories alive showing the worst depths of Nazi rule.
Beautiful and sad poem. People really don't understand the real harshness of the never-to-be-forgotten Holocaust.
