Last Train To Auschwitz

A vast sea of doomed,
skeletal walking dead
board a train
bound for Auschwitz;
of the 1,019 aboard,
549 were children.
The last ride of their lives.
Many too numb to show emotions!
Even before that,
families separated;
little children
forced to watch their parents
coldly executed by SS forces,
before being executed
themselves.
Upon arrival,
tens of thousands
packed in
at gassing facilities
like sardines.
Just imagine...
the sheer terror
of their last moments!
How loud were
their collective screams
before they perished? Oh, the horror!
The mass murder of civilians
and prisoners of war.
Indelible images...
of unspeakable evil!
Note: This was obviously written for Kai Michael Neumann's contest,
but someone beat me for last spot within minutes, but oh well...lol
