Last Train To Auschwitz

As a child she was in the dark to what was unfolding around her it was WW2 and she knew not of the deaths at Auschwitz and Sobibor she recalls being taken from a ghetto to a transit camp in Westerbork a ride to nowhere I knew not when I was just a tot others had been caught She was taken from an orphanage kicking & screaming bruised and cut then shoved her in a bus to transport her to a destination small as a hut arriving at camp, they shoved her in a gas chamber, strange twist of fate it malfunctioned ,she was left naked in a chamber overnight, was it Faith? thumping heart and all she curled up from a crawl and cried to the wall Angels of death rejected her, she was too sterilized with innocence burning in an oven she didn't belong, she lived to tell without pretense unfortunately scarred for life, she survived and lost her dear parents on her wedding day she did cope a survivor with an anchor a rope dressed in white she took a slope Jews, burned in ovens all because of Adolf Hitler and his hatred for Jews Jews, God's people honest good living Citizens who did no wrong, Jews Jews, human beings ripped apart, God opened gate then wept, JEWS + Written by: Mystic Rose April 11, 2021 Contest name: Last Train to Auschwitz Sponsor: Kai Michael Newman

WoW! Mystic, You told a sad, heartfelt, and well written write. It was horrific what Hitler did to the jews. A chapter in history that shouldn't have never happened. Excellent job. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day- Alexis

Great job, Mystic. This was a part of history that should not had happen. Years back I had read he was a Jew, masochist, and an artist, but mistreated. The story also reminds me of Romans persecution of Christians. Good luck in the contest. Hugs dear friend

Good morning dear friend, I hope all is well, I always feel such sorrow when I read about how they were treated, I knew one man who bowled with me and Aldo, and he said his gran kids asked him to go to class and talk about it, and he teared up but he went, I could only imagine what he felt like in front of a classroom retelling to a bunch of kids, his name was Joseph, kindest man I ever met.

Like Trump, Hitler was a flimflam man who diverted attention from his thefts and crimes by directing attention to scapegoats the public could plunder, i.e., Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, etc. Trump has reminded us how easy that is to do, and how few pay attention! Aloha! Rico

depravity is a coat worn by the sick of mind and spirit, it has no emotion, no conscience, its heart drips lust for power from its lips...Ironic that one of Hitler's first words of propaganda was " I will make Germany great again"

While this was happening the world did nothing. Nothing until millions were killed. Your poem is monument to those who lost life and suffered in this man-made tragedy. Win BIG my friend with this emotive write.

Dear Vijay, I wept as I wrote it, thinking of the cruelty that was done to man. How vulnerable a human soul can be in the hands of mercenary people. Thank you for reading, bless you
