A Million Tears
  Their lives were
  Taken.
  Their liberties
  Gone.
  Their families
  Forsaken.
  They suffered so
  Long.
  They had
  No gender,
  No age,
  Nor name.
  For a Jew’s a
  Jew.
  All the same.
  And the heavy footsteps of Nazi
  Soldiers,
  The pawns of
  "All Mighty Hitler"
  The dictator, coward, and mass
  Murderer.
  “Sieg Heil!” “Sieg Heil!” “Sieg Heil!”
  Beat the Jews, ever so
  Frail.
  Their stomachs
  Empty
  And air
  Stale,
  Yet they marched
  Onward,
  Despite what was laying only a little
  Forward.
  Mother’s shouts
  Children’s cries
  As their beloved collapses and
  Dies.
  Hitler’s
  Fears
  Had caused these Holocaust
  Years
  And the shedding of million
  Tears.

This poem emphasizes some of the many hardships Jews faced from 1938 through 1945. However, this poem cannot fully illustrate the suffering the Jews endured.
