Auschwitz Shoes

Can you hear the waning cries in their grave, the ones who humanity could not save. Jews condemned without just cause since that was the way of Nazi laws. Their shoes lie heaped on cold damp floor trophies of the Second World War. Lives that filled these shoes of mystery, walked the death path of Auschwitz history. Crumpled and wearied without any souls from the brutal treatment of Nazi patrols. Wails will be heard for years to come scorched in walls, an enormous sum. Time can’t undo the tears that were shed but we can respect the brave and dead… Copyright © 2010 By Caryl S. Muzzey

I would guess if there are ghost, they could be heard/seen at these sights of mass murders.

I really love how you took something as simple as their shoes and created such a sad, devastating picture. Truly sad. The best of luck in the contest.
