We must not turn our heads and let the Middle East become another Holocaust. To remind us, I am going to daily post a poem from a Holocaust survivor or family member. Together Forever (A Holocaust Story) Together Forever The kids are playing peacefully The birds are singing in harmony The families celebrate happily They had no clue what was happening Hitler was part of daily talk As his evil revolution was spreading Jews out! Jews out! Screamed to mother, father, and son Then the Nazi pulled the trigger on his gun The father fell to the floor as the mother screamed The child cries while shuddering They are pulled away and stuck into a rail car The mother and child are trapped between the bars The rail cars only signs of hope are outside in the stars The car trapped the souls of the dead inside 11 million people died The smell of death lingers in the air None of the Nazis even cared Rotten bodies are rolled out one by one Many people try to run Bang! Bang! Goes the guns as the Nazis shoot for fun. Left! Right! Left! Are called to the innocent people in line The mother realized she and her son didnt have much time They both are sent to the right, towards life But they must be separated Mother and son ripped apart She told him to listen to his fragile heart The showers seem to be made of liquid ice Their heads are shaven so there is no lice Work! Schnell! Work! Are all they are ever told How could someones heart ever be so cold? Tattoos of numbers are their new names Nothing would ever be the same. Cry, sob, sniffle. Were the only sounds in the barracks The chosen where rounded up into packs They would never again come out of Liliths Cave Their souls let out in the smoke, all of them were brave The grasp of hope and faith slipping from the childs hands The only thing they could do was follow commands Just when the mother gave up The Americans came to the rescue Its been four years in the camp The son looked for his mother Could that be her? Could it be? He was surrounded by ghostly, skeleton, bodies He found her with clumps of white hair on her head She looked as if she was dead But she wasnt because of her happy smile They will remember the words Arbeit Macht Frei for awhile They never let each other go Forever they promised to stay together. - See more at: allpoetry/poem/11179533-Together-Forever--A-Holocaust-Story--by-Nicole-Swatton#sthash.eWb9qHzh.dpuf
