Lost Children of Auschwitz 1943

Mark the pale children,
They cry not,
Neither do they talk,
Silently, they walk
Towards the gas chambers,
Their naked bodies
Shriveled and emaciated,
All human dignity gone,
Only their innocence left,
Resigned to whatever may come,
A brutal outrage to decency
And the holy flame of life,
While Yehovah and the world
Look on in silence
And do nothing...
