Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky.
Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.
Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.

Conseguiste roubar-me uma lágrima, Lu !!!!
A beautiful tribute xxx
O Holocausto. A maior tragédia do séc. XX, direi mesmo da História da Humanidade. Que nunca se repita, esperamos nós. O pior é que se repetirá vezes sem conta enquanto o Homem não se reconhecer nos outros por mais diferentes que possam ser.
Continua a luta, querida, desta vez eles não estão sozinhos.
Beijinhos.
