1938 - 1945

Often I think
Of my old school friends
Killed by the Nazis
In the concentration camps,
The old Latin teacher of mine,
Professor Doctor Oppenheim,
Murdered in the Terezin camp
Who worked with SigmundFreud,
Long ago, hand in hand,
And the six million others,
Gassed or executed,
How much to our world
They could have contributed...
