Why I prayed

Why I prayed



Why I prayed

I ask god

To keep us

Safe and let

Those Germans

Shouting and calling

Us horrible names.



Put their weapons

Away. We could

See millions of

Jews burning

Flesh go up in

Flames.



They separated

Us from our

Family.

Little did I know

That was  be the

Last I would see them.

The Germans told us

Not to cry or they shoot us.



That was just

The start of

An horrible

Event was

Forgotten

And it will forever

Be apart of history.
