Responding to a Poem

We watched, we weeped
we witnessed love torn apart
  Our hearts sank in our chest when you were ripped from the arms of your
parents and thrown into the fire.
  You were nothing more than children. We will remember

You were helpless, defenseless against the monstrous uniformed hoard who stole your identity and gave you nothing but a pair of pyjamas and a golden star. We will remember 

You had a future. You were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers. 
You had dreams, aspirations, all which were taken away in the blink of an eye.

You were taken away in the dead of night like cattle in cars, no air to breathe smothering, crying, starving, dying. We will remember

Separated from the world to be no more. From the ashes, we will hear our plea. This atrocity to mankind will not happen again. For you were the children who's lives were stolen and dreams destroyed. We will remember
