There are many who Holocaust deny,
those who refuse the mass Nazi killing;
a hoax, just lies- to convince us they try,
historical facts of death camps chilling;
the images- all lies they keep drilling,
to just see it . . . they are plain unwilling.
In defense- claim no exterminations,
and no Jew European genocide;
stories were just newspaper creations,
they admit that many Jews died;
but historical facts they wish to hide,
and with believers . . . they collide.
The survivors tell stories so tragic,
for them there is no Nazi mystery;
that they can do this I find quite magic,
with images- visual history;
with verbal testimony history,
from deniers come remarks blistery.
They speak of the gas chambers and mass graves,
Jews walking to their death in endless waves.
