In Memoriam

I REMEMBER
It's personal
and it's still incomprehensible
in the magnitude of the annihilation
and in the suffering of each person
My great-grandfather and his oldest son was most probably
in that line
of Jews
being deported
from their small town of Tomaszow Mazowiecki
to the death in Treblinka
like other six million Jews and many other millions
were uprooted from their lives
and sealed a death sentence in many other death factories
just because there were different
I still feel the pain
of my grandfather
who left the town years earlier
thinking he would have time
to take his father and brother
later on
and was left
with the unknown
As we remember today
the Holocaust
I can't wish anything
or hope anything
but just pause
to feel myself that
pain
that is personal
and will always be
incomprehensible. |
