NOT TO FORGET

History tells…
Of men, women, old people and children
without a name anymore ...
but indelible numbers imprinted on the skin
Of striped pajamas
devoid of bodies
parade under an incessant rain
between mud and snowdrifts ...
Of exhausted faces
from hunger and suffering
deprived even of tears
Of looks into the void
who scan the horizon in search of salvation
Of voices screaming in the silence
behind a barbed wire
that destroys
the existence of the human being
and confines it to the limits
imposed by a human madness
History tells…
... not to forget ...
