Holocaust Remembrance Day
A siren sounds and movement stops –
Pedestrians stand still
While cars and buses hit the brakes
And silence reigns until
Another siren breaks the spell;
Two minutes to reflect
On the gates of Auschwitz, opened
To what no one would expect.
As antisemitism flares
And rears its ugly head,
We look back and remember
The survivors and the dead.
