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. _______________________________ January 27, 2020 Poetry/Urban Sonnet/Holocaust Denial and Survival Copyright Protected, ID 20-1219-946-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the contest, Polarities and Paradoxes sponsor, Line Gauthier Third Place
