The Holocaust

Night
No one prayed,
So that the night would pass quickly.
The stars
were only sparks
of the fire which devoured us.
Should that fire
Die out one day,
There would be nothing
Left in the sky
But dead stars,
Dead eyes.

Never
Shall I forget
That night, the first night
in camp,
which has turned
my life into one long night,
Seven times cursed
And seven times sealed.
Never
Shall I forget that smoke.
Never
Shall I forget
The little faces
Of the children, whose bodies
I saw turned into wreaths of smoke
beneath a silent blue sky.

    the whole of my granny's family died in the holocaust. this poem really touched me and summed up my feelings of loss and confusion. there were so many possibilities that could have risen if they hadn't died. it makes me happy to see that someone cares.

  • this is really great. So sad..but this is so vivid it takes me there..

  • This is a great write Rayne, The Holocaust was a dreadful thing that happened to different races who people thought were inferior. I've taken a class on the Holocaust. People today still discriminate and still treat other races as scape goats and what not. I think it's messed up.
