"Night will Fall"
For those who are alive
To see the British newsreel
And remember the spring of 1945.
The British army entered Bergen-Belsen,
The heart of Germany -
The town of beauty and harmony.
Neat gardens, rich farms, …
All around seemed to have only charms.
English soldiers began to admire the place,
In any case, up to the moment
When they felt the smell.
It looked like coming out of a hell.
What the British saw entering the concentration camp
Was almost a complete surprise for them.
They couldn’t believe the people could do that.
The scenes they filmed were beyond any description,
Those facts were all delivered to the jurisdiction.
The film "Night will Fall" demonstrates
How peoples nice life and hell incorporates.
Some said they didn’t know,
Some didn’t want this film to show.
It’s hard to watch and hard to look away.
But it shouldn’t be repeated at any other day.
HOLOCAUST!
It was the humans heart frost,
It was the peoples action,
But the devils satisfaction.

Well done, Larisa, to bring this 'situation' so clearly into focus. I wonder whether you saw the British 'Holocaust Remembrance' ceremony. It was very explicit and gut-wrenching. They included the further atrocities of the Bosnian genocide, just one of many since 1945. It highlighted so effectively that our human race has still learned very little about co-habitation upon our small, unique (at the moment) planet.
