Holocaust
The voice of they brothers blood crieth unto me
Auschwitz
Bergen - Belsen
Buchenwald
Dachau
Majdanek
Treblinka
Theresienstadt
Some are guilty
ALL are responsible
Hashoah
Only silence speaks loudly enough for the millions who were marched in the abyss
not by might nor by power but by spirit saith the Lord of Hosts
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain
Choose life and live
[Reverse}
Overcome evil with good
Love one another
There is no fear in love
For God is love
For whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap
The Holocaust ...
A massive crime
Too horrible to remember
Too dangerous to forget
