Poetry by Jamie McKenzie |

Remembering all of you I wander through this lovely town I see the flowers just emerging You are gone |
Note: Even though 50,000 Jewish citizens of this region in Poland were rounded up, crammed into a ghetto, then exterminated in camps like Treblinka, Buchenwald and Dachau in 1943, there is almost no sign of this history when you visit Czestochowa. Thousands come here for a pilgrimage to the Catholic shrine, but few of them know of the horrors. I heard the screams all day. |
