Birkenau
Here because of an accident of blood
The multitudes entered in a flood
He saw her silhouette in the blue light
She blew him a final kiss that night
She held his child for him to see
Neither,would ever be set free
On his arm they numbered his tattoo
In this camp for the Holocaust Jew
He came back in forty-five
To keep the Auschwitz story alive.
Tribute to Leon Greenman (1910-2008) the only Englishmen to be sent to
Auschwitz.
