Holocaust Remembrance Day

A siren sounds and movement stops –

Pedestrians stand still

While cars and buses hit the brakes

And silence reigns until

 

Another siren breaks the spell;

Two minutes to reflect

On the gates of Auschwitz, opened

To what no one would expect.

 

As antisemitism flares

And rears its ugly head,

We look back and remember

The survivors and the dead.
