The Einsatzgruppe group

at the very mention of "holocaust"
we think of "concentration camps"
envisioned is emaciated victims
dirty striped uniforms
staring at piles of corpses,
too many to number, or bury
and bulldozed into mass graves

but that was not all...of the holocaust

the reality of such a genocide began as
a group of four known as..Einsatzgruppe

formed by Himmler and Heydrich
... before the-invasion of the Soviet Union. Cooperating was German army units and local militas, for the purpose of murdering over one million men, women and children.

The Einsatzgruppen group' purpose was to murder Jews and deprive them of their property

 

 

 

 

A deceitful myth... stated by the official Palestinian newspaper, al-Hayat al-Jadida.....

 

Woe to the deniers, I say!

 

Author notes

One million human corpses is a concept too bizarre and too fantastical for normal mental comprehension. As suggested before, the mention of one million deaths produces no shock at all commensurate with its enormity because to the average brain one million is more a symbol than a quantitative measure. However, if one reads through the reports of the Einsatzgruppen and observes the small numbers getting larger, climbing into ten thousand, tens of thousands, a hundred thousand and beyond, then one can at last believe that this actually happened -- the cold-blooded, premeditated killing of one million human beings.

      I agree with you. I've always wandered why gangs get so much publicity but it seems no one is really setting out to get rid of them.

    Your knowledge and research on this group is outstanding as is the write. I am most empathetic to God's chosen ones. You are deserving of the gold! Horrendous acts against the Jews are fact not fiction...His covenant remains with them..Bravo for this work!

    So Very Sad

    Wow this was so very sad. You wrote very well on the true history of the holocaust. Millions is overwhelming just one is overwhelming to me. You did an excellent job on the history of this event in a poem yet story form. God bless you and congradulations on your trophy. You know it is good for us to read things like this at times for it makes one grateful for where they are at in life, for some have had it much worse then I, is what I think! Thank you for sharing your gift to write.
    Many Blessings

    It is amazing how some can deny this happened...even while there are yet victims and eyewitnesses still living.

    Third line down..."to many to number"...should that be "too many to number"?

    I think the story is compelling and needs to be told. However, I wonder if it would not have benefited more if you had chosen one or a few victims and delivered their stories with the strength that only a poetic voice can attain. The way it is written now could be the opening to a documentary. It does not give more than a small fact. We must see, feel, smell, and empathize with those of whom you are concerned. Nevertheless, I am happy to have been enlightened this evening.

    Very True.......

    Although I have never heard of this group before, I have no problem believing it actually took place. Not only one million were killed but add another six million to that and that makes seven and who knows how many more deaths not accounted for. Thanks for your entry and the best of luck in the contest!!!!~~Toni~~

    A TERRIBLE TIME IN OUR WORLD!!!!-

    And out of this misery came untold acts of bravery and unconditional giving of ones own life to save another. Countless true stories are ours to keep of those who rose above this and defeated it with truth and faith.
