About the “showers” at the death camps.

From inside the chambers
The condemned started to scream.
They tore at the door,
With both tooth and claw.
Slowly the screaming died
To be replaced with pure songs.
From the fields of gain,
To the land of pain.
As the last voice was choked
Heavy steel doors swung apart.
My eyes were then scared,
The truth was so stark.
Inside was a pyramid
Of tortured human remains.
No-one could now hide,
The horrors inside

    Such a horrible picture to have to imagine. It is incredible how human beings could do something like that to other human beings. We have to think about these things once in a while so that we never forget. Thanks for reminding us.
