Yad Vashem

Shoes
Thousands of them
Old and shriveled up like prunes
Worn leather with no luster

Shoes
Walked in by men
Men of the past who died in a scream
One loud scream
One deafening sound
An echo felt from inside my soul

Chains and memoirs
Boxcars and stolen treasures
Today I leave this museum believing I am a Jew.
