"Then in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart."- Anne Frank


The worthless blood that the Nazis
have shed, in this bloodbath.


All is destroyed, ripped linen, velvet, and silk
Who can believe

All that has happened in those

Two decades?

Evil spreading, nowhere to go. All is glass, chilled on the outside and inside.
Barriers blocking the world but they knew, oh did they know!
The price tag was discarded for over six million torn, innocent lives.

Some old, some young,

Some married, some single.
Their fate was one and the same, destroyed in a factory.

An angel sent them to be paintings on stained glass windows for the world to see, a blessed heaven. Their clothes spread as wings as they see the world to come.


The Nazis writhe in hell forever, somehow they remain as shreds in society.


We were all fools



Trying to remain humane.



Here are the basics, of the infamous battle:











Victims: Mostly Jews




Life Shattered

People hard as the stones of Yerushalaiyim



Europe torn



6,000,000 Jews dead



Anti-Semitism, Hate



Death, pain


Against others, innocent


Holocaust

Hitler



NA



ZI

…they will remain.

Always



Remaining as





Torn Silk




In



A
Glass




wall.




Ripped and cold forever.

This poem was written for an assignment based on the Holocaust. This subject is personal to me since I am Jewish. It also received an honorable mention from the Holocaust Education and Documentation Center in June 2010.
