There's only two words that I can think of,
That I feel puts all of mankind into a
category of it's own for allowing this.
Disgust and shame. No one has the
Right to do this. My heart goes out to all
Who lost friends and relatives at this
Most reviled time. Regards Alan

It is painful, and a source of grief, to contemplate the suffering and often brutal persecution that the Jewish people have endured through the centuries up to our own day. There is so much beauty in Judaism, and, alas, so much ugliness in the haters.

Thank you for your poem.

Thank you for this. I have only ghosts, no names or dates, as my ancestors, all Jewish, emigrated to the U.S. from Germany (both sides) around 1850. Those that stayed behind, well, we just don't know. There are no stories.

So sad, too sad. Thank you.

A very sad discovery for you, thank you for sharing it with us. Your final word, extinguished, is so final.

I am of german descent on my mothers side and to this day, I feel a sense of guilt that within my DNA there is a portion that belongs to those who were capable of such atrocities.

On this day, a most sacred day in the memories and history of the Jewish peoples, I can but bow my head in silent acknowlegement of such horrors.

Thank you most sincerely for sharing your thoughts with us.
