Poem of the Murdered Jewish People[1]

By Yitzchok Katznelson, May God Avenge His Blood

Translated by Allen Flusberg

…An entire world looked on
As during days bright
And during nights dark
Via trains and on foot
They led my people to their death;
A million children, as they were put to death,
Stretched their hands out to them—
And it did not move them…
