W.A. Cholt Poet Free verse

The Holocaust

Lest we forget 
The face of evil 
And deny the truth 
Of history
Remember the victims 
Who suffered and died;
Tormented, persecuted, 
Dispossessed, taken captive, 
Herded like animals 
Into the crowded carriages 
And transported 
To the Nazi death camps. 

             Remember them 

             Remember them...

Kim Rodrigues September 6, 2018 at 10:51 PM For sure some things should never be forgotten or history could repeat itself...repeat itself W.A. Cholt September 8, 2018 at 12:37 AM Thanks Kim. Uncensored history is such an important subject. It arms us with the truth and helps us avoid extremism on all sides.
