Shoah : A World War II Tragedy

Retelling the holocaust in Germany under Adolf Hitler.

What did I do to be born a Jew in this world

where the Fuhrer rules.

He killed my father,he killed my mother,

he killed my brother,he killed my sister.

I survived in the concentration camps

for fourteen days,but death took me over.

Now where am I,in heaven? in hell?

I am on earth,wandering like a ghost

to taunt his life.

After sixteen years of love,he married

Eva Braun on April twenty-nine.

While six million people lie dead because of that

one man,does he deserve to live? No!

As a ghost I took his life on April thirty,

the next day of his marriage.

When I lost my family and myself,

the Fuhrer doesn't deserve one.

WW 11 was a bad war. The war was fought for Europe. USA knew of the Germans desire to kill the Jews and did nothing. This is a sad time for our world. We cannot forget the Jews and the Gypsies killed by the hate of Germany and Hitler. Thank you for the powerful poem. History must be remembered and we hope it doesn't repeat. (It did in many places since WW 11.)
