It's not something I've ever experienced.
The smell of gas.
The cries of children.
The blank eyed-stare.
It's not something I've ever experienced.
My silver necklace taken from my neck.
My home becoming the ghetto.
My every step watched by people with guns.
It's not something I've ever experienced.
Families, friends, strangers shot at, killed and murdered.
Having to have a gold star on my chest to point out differences.
Wondering if I will be alive tomorrow.
That's not something I've ever experienced.
And I hope I never will.

In class we had to write a poem about what we have learnt about the holocaust, I wrote the things that I found horrifying and how I hope I will never experience.

Thank you for your positive, thoughtful, helpful comments.
Positive - something I have done well.
Thoughtful - a sentence or more that lets me know you that you read/watched or listened to what I had to say.
