Isaac Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Isaac

Rating: 5.0


Yes, my son there was a time seventy-five years ago
Six million Jews perished in the gas chambers,
Starved and been shot to death
Don't believe anything you read about it on the 'Net
Ask Isaac who lives down the street why he has
Numbers tattooed on his arm
And cries when you smile
Because you remind him of his younger brother,
In which, Isaac saw his brother's body thrown in
A grave with the rest of his family
He was about yr age when the Allies released them
So, don't give those deniers any credit
They only think they do

Yes, the awful truth some people still deny. I visited Dachau concentration camp many years ago and it was heartbreaking to see the huts, gas chambers and office and the hundreds of photos of what went on there.

Those who deny the holocaust need a serious reality check. I'm proud to say that my father protected Jews from the hands of the Nazis. Every day, he was risking his own life. Heart wrenching historical poem. Aces!

Incredibly forthright poem. Those who deny the holocaust lie only to themselves. Pay no heed to them. There are thousands of Germans who risked their lives and families to protect Jews from the Nazis. There are any number of First-Hand accounts of such courageous people.

I feel proud to share the page with LeeAnn, Richard and David who hold humaneness so dearly. A great feeling of severeness takes me over.
