I wrote this in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is inspired by my visit to Yad Vashem: The Holocaust Museum in Israel.
Yad Vashem
A garden of trees
Righteous among Nations
Memorial of those who said enough
Who would not be blind
Hall of memory
Ghosts of the past
Lives cut short
Remembered here
The Hall of Names
A statement
We shall not forget
Each was important
Each lived
Each died in the name of hate
Remember
Remember the silent millions
Remember and let it not happen again
A powerful tribute. I’ve never been, but I can imagine what it must have felt like being surrounded by the people in that domed museum from your photograph. Thank you.
