Holocaust Remembered 2006

Six million Jews died in Nazi camps,
Their arms tatooed with number stamps,
Since then some sixty years have passed,
But vivid memories still last,
Gassed they were and cremated,
Men, women, children - innocents
By God and love created,
While the world just looked on,
They closed their borders
And nothing was done,
Some people would define
Such action as a crime,
But let those memories not be vain,
So that a genocide will not occur again,
And we must never, ever forget
To honor those six million dead,
Had they but lived,
Perchance, some Einstein, Freud
Could have been our gift.
