Holocaust by Barbara Sonek

1 We played, we laughed

2 we were loved.

3 We were ripped from the arms of our

4 parents and thrown into the fire.

5 We were nothing more than children.

6 We had a future. We were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers. We had

7 dreams, then we had no hope. We were taken away in the dead of night like cattle in

8 cars, no air to breathe smothering, crying, starving, dying. Separated from the world to

9 be no more. From the ashes, hear our plea. This atrocity to mankind can not happen

10 again. Remember us, for we were the children whose dreams and lives were stolen

11 away
