A Letter To General Eisenhower
Dear General Eisenhower:
Sir, you are a man of great wisdom and foresight
Is this why you made sure photographs were taken
photographs of mass graves stuffed with rotting bodies
mass graves of naked men, women, and yes...children
herded into what they were led to believe were showers
yet not cleansing showers, but showers of deadly, lethal gas?
Slaughtered only because of their suspected racial heritage
because they were part of a monster’s master plan
a plan to breed a 'superior race' of blond, blue eyed robots
marching in lock-step to his insane rants of propaganda?
General, could your reason have been that you knew
could you have possibly understood:
that there is an eternal battle between good and evil
that Satan and his servants are unwavering, relentless
that someday some would deny.....
that it ever happened?
**General Eisenhower realized that someday there would be those who would
deny the Holocaust ever occurred, therefore he took action. Local citizens were
made aware of the atrocities, and pictures were taken.
