Holocaust

Imagine that they made you a top commander.

Fantastic uniform, power over many,

Fine home and all you could ask for.

Then they asked you to kill!

Slaughter the weak and even innocent children.

How would your grand uniform then suit.,

Soaked in others blood!

There is no excuse for what they did.

May you all who was involved in this atrocity " not just Germans, and maybe got away with it.,

May you all go to Hell!

We must never forget what happened....we must ensure nothing remotely close to this ever happens again. What a powerfully intense write this is. So timely with Holocaust remembrance day this week. Lydi**

You recognised Holocaust Day, Christine, and with a clear voice. How true your words, how graphic.

Was the worst tragedy .. a black cloud over the heads of what was and is called Civilisation. And to think that there are moves to cut down its full details in the UK History syllabus.

Its so sad emmajoy – but these so same sad atrocities for no care over all, including children., still go on today.

What have we learnt?

I was thinking the same when i was typing to you... history doesn't teach us anything when we're too busy focussing on what to have for dinner tonight or fussing about rain or..

It's more than sad, isn't it... Mankind's memories fade too quickly when we turn our backs (You)

Life tells me - it will never change.

I am not Jewish nor have any connections.

All I know as an English person or an officer within our military forces, I would never endorse the killing of any non-combatant – let alone elderly, women or children. I would feel the exact same as if a sergeant, corporal or even a private soldier.

So sad to say – this respect has long gone today.

Where were those same thinking people back then?
