Tragedy or Triumph

    Piles of ashes
       mountains of bones
    The smell of flesh burning
       crematoria’s home  

    Auschwitz, Dachau
       Buchenwald now fade
    Hitler replaced by the 
       Holocaust Sinwar made

    Yet Hitler’s once more a hero
       to growing numbers, not just a few
     As to posters of Sinwar
       Palestinians pay homage to

Outright lies are in vogue (my apology to the magazine). It seems that people folllw, and no one uses their own brains anymore. You make a good point.

Yes. Outright lies. Outright. Not exaggerations. Just lies. And people just fall for them. What a world.

Shalom~ Most if the worldd is on an anti- Sentic rage seems like forever. They want Jews dead, many Jews dont care about Israel. Dont believe in Hashem, or have never been trained, you can find them in the US Congress, Senate, Kamala Harris and daughter. Now the Brits are being treated like Jews? No rights, unless they snile at Those Criminals who snuck jinto Britain. Anyway, same in the USa. We are deplorarabals as we are white! Bas Noach, ,,,Panagiota

Yup. Hitler's back in vogue alright. Hard to believe, isn't it? Speaks to the level of scum humanity has become.

Gershon, the world never did learn. The vast numbers of young people ignorant and hateful, I used to think there was hope in youth. Am Yisrael Chai! ~

Well, there's enthusiasm. And there's hope too -- hope to kill Jews and destroy Israel, that is. Some generation!

I did not know this. Sad that people can do that, but sometimes people can be lead in the wrong direction by some compelling person who can lead them in any direction. Thanks for sharing this one with us. I have read several books here lately about what happened during Hitler's reign and WWII. Sara K

Hitler mesmerized the Germans --- only because they were ready to be mesmerized. Same with Hamas' and Hezbollah's leaders now. Their populations are willing accomplices to their murderous ways.
