Holocaust

Holocaust


I was dragged away with many others to be
Tortured
Murdered
Exterminated
Still they deny it happened.

I can still remember being packed up with others like an animal
In a train meant for cattle
Scarred
Sufficating
Confused
Still they deny it happened.

I can still smell the burning bodies in the crematorias of Auschwitz-Birkenau
Feel their
Anguish
Anger
Hate
Still they deny it happened.

I can still feel my muscles ache as I work to dig
My own grave
Feeling hopelessness
Exhaustion
Starvation
Still they deny it happened.

I can still hear myself screaming
As the S.S. man rapes me, relishing my
Tears
Discomfort
Desperation
Still they deny it happened.

I know they can still hear me cry out
As I'm burned alive because the Nazis have run out of gas for their gas chambers
I am
Relieved
Hurting
Forgotten as the wind blows my ashes away
Fogotten by those who deny these heinous crimes

I am
Just 16 years old.
I look at you and ask
"How can you deny something as real as
The holocaust?"
