Holocaust Remembrance Day

Lay your wreath, light your candles,

And think on all that’s good and say

“Never again!” as we reflect

On Holocaust Remembrance Day.

 

How can humans be so cruel?

A question we must ponder as we

Think of the millions who lost their lives

Because of gross inhumanity.

 

Sadly there are people who

Deny the truth of the Holocaust.

With cold and calloused hearts they refuse

To acknowledge the many lives that were lost.

 

If we ignore the enormity

Of all the crimes committed, then

How will we ever be sure that such

Atrocities won't happen again?

 

May all who perished rest in peace.

We must keep human hatred at bay.

In fact, every day should be

A Holocaust Remembrance Day.

I agree Bob.
"May all who perished rest in peace.

I was station in Germany. I went to Auschwitz and Dachau in 1976. Auschwitz, you could smell death still. I met many survivors and they lived a good life. When death is near. You learn to appreciate every day. We cannot forget. Thank you for reminding us.

The last time I was in Germany, I went to Dachau. It was a sobering experience, to say the least. And to think that there are Holocaust deniers makes me want to puke.

Me too. In Auschwitz. I didn't like the feel of death and the sadness. The Polish people near say. At night, they can hear screams.
