The crimes committed against humanity and the Jews in the extermination camp of Auschwitz, where more than one million people were murdered in part of the greatest genocides in history. Remember them, they did live, and were murdered!
The entrance to the main camp of Auschwitz I
The gas chamber (showers) of Auschwitz I
This is one of the crematoria at Auschwitz I
NEVER FORGET THIS ATROCITY, THIS INHUMANITY, THIS HOLOCAUST ON A BARBARIC SCALE!
AUSCHWITZ
Coffins of wood on railroad tracks,
No stops, no place to rest and lay back;
Odor strong, and growing bolder,
Must stand, no room – it’s getting colder;
Stopping now, days have passed,
Fresh breeze comes through door at last;
Weapons in our faces, jerked about,
Why do they separate us? and shout?
Men one way, women somewhere off,
What? Do you mean my clothes to doff?
Not civilized what they plan and do,
Cold, and naked, now showers, too!
I could use one, after that long ride,
Where are the towels? oh, outside!
Why is the door being locked?
I hear the pipes, but water is blocked,
Some misty spray that chokes and burns,
Oh, it is horrible, the pain that turns!
Quickly, it passes and leaves pain no more,
Dead, forever, on a concrete floor;
With so many others around me,
Where do they take us now to be?
In wheelbarrows to the furnace I go,
Dumped in like garbage and set aglow;
The black, choking smoke ascends with another,
Up to the heavens and my glorious Father!
He will remember, and they will pay,
For this Holocaust of His People this day!
