Never Forget


Never forget us













Us Jews



Us of the mentally and physically disabled



Us Gypsies



Us Jehovah’s witnesses

- Our hopes and dreams of the future



Are now your present

NEVER FORGET THE 6 MILLION OF US






Who were starved









Branded









Tortured










Sick




Stripped of our memories






- worked till’ our last breath

NEVER Forget the Camps






The execution







The gas







The Nazis



- knowing you won’t leave

NEVER FORGET THE LOSS







The tears







The suffering







The pain

- Remember all of us

But most of all
Above all of this

There is one last thing never to forget through all of this

Never, ever forget






Hope






Who you are






What you live for















Never forget

This touched me deeply I am part Jewish and my mother Is a Jehovah's Witness. This is a great literary composition that comes from the heart and that is the best type of work.

"She walks in beauty,
Like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes."

It would have been better if you had described the feelings of pain and suffering and in more detail, use the 5 senses and think about it deeply, but you have a good ideas and main theme for the poem

That was good! This is one of those sad subjects that so many people tend to deny even though it really happened and there are people who can testify to it. Thanks for writing it!
