The death of a Holocaust survivor - Sonia Weitz

Come take this giant leap with me
Into the other world..the other place

And trace the eclipse of humanity.

Where children burned while mankind stood by,

And the universe has yet to learn why

...Has yet to learn why.

- Sonia Weitz, from her poem, "For Yom Ha'Shoah"

It is impossible for us to understand how those who survived the Holocaust can really feel. Holocaust survivors relive their experiences so the world can try to understand and learn from events of the past. The poetry of Sonia Weitz has helped many to begin to understand the Holocaust.
