He Did What He Could

Over a thousand souls Sheltered from the hell By a German industrialist Whom he saved, would tell From forced labour camps bought Under the Third Reich's nose To work in his factories As their war effort grows Diamonds and cash Bribed Amon Goeth A barbaric camp leader Who spoke with deaths froth The saved ones worked Manufacturing grenades and shells Not one could be fired As history did tell It's now the end of the war With over a thousand saved From their persecuted era Where they were imprisoned, enslaved Amon Goeth was hanged Aged 37 The souls of the lost Look down now from Heaven This saviour of Jews Died aged 66 He wanted to save more Through his financial tricks At Israels Yad Vashem Righteous Among the Nations Where they place rocks still Oskar Schindler rests, in Jewish Heaven My tribute to an amazing man, whose determination to save as many Jews as he possibly could, and he did. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/war-2.php
