Yom HaShoah

[Ria_Longhorn]

How beautiful is my love
with her everyday clothes
and a comb in her hair,
Nobody knew she was so beautiful.

Maidens of Auschwitz,
Dachau maidens
Have you not seen my love?

We saw her on a distant journey,
she no longer had her clothes
or a comb in her hair.

How beautiful is my love,
pampered by her mother,
and her brother's kisses.
Nobody knew she was so beautiful.

Maidens of Mauthausen,
Maidens of Belsen,
Have you not seen my love?

We saw her on the frozen square
with a number on her white hand
with a yellow star on her heart.

Iakovos Kampanellis, Song of Songs

I Believe

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining.

I believe in love even feeling it not.

I believe in G-d even when HE is silent.

Inscription found on the wall of a cellar in Cologne Germany;
where Jews hid from the Nazis.

It's important to remember, if we don't keep watching, it can happen again.

I believe in G-d even when HE is silent.

Thank you Ria. Beautiful.
