Barbara Sonek poem response

You played, you were loved,
you were innocent.
You were torn away from your
parents and thrown into a nightmare, sealed from waking up.
You were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers. You all had a dreams that were stolen from you and crushed under the boot of a Nazi. You were taken away in the dead of night with your lives left behind, forever stuck like a small bird in a steel cage . Separated from the world to be no more.This atrocity to mankind can not happen again. We will remember you,

and those children whose dreams and lives were stolen away.
