A Historic Event

History cried out at a heinous cost 'Twas when millions of Jews their lives had lost Dead bodies in concentration camps filled In the name of Anti-Semitism, killed Pogroms, mass shootings to annihilate Gas chambers and vans to asphyxiate Germans, they thought they were superior Slew the Jews with motives ulterior Forced to work in extermination camps Labour till death his sickle around tramps God's chosen race fighting for every breath Nazis became the harbingers of death {The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the World War II genocide of the European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, across German-occupied Europe, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The murders were carried out in pogroms and mass shootings; by a policy of extermination through work in concentration camps; and in gas chambers and gas vans in German extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibór, and Treblinka in occupied Poland} 09.19.2020 For William Kekaula's "A Historic Event" poetry contest
