Songs of Sad Angels:
Holocaust Poetry
This web page is dedicated to the 1.5 million children who were murdered during the Holocaust. This figure includes more than 1.2 million Jewish children, tens of thousands of Gypsy children and thousands of institutionalized handicapped children.

Nazi persecution, arrests, and deportations were directed against all members of Jewish families without concern for age. Plucked from their homes and stripped of their childhoods, the children had witnessed the murder of parents, siblings, and relatives. They faced starvation, illness and brutal labor, until they were consigned to the gas chambers.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.  - Anne Frank
Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair
-Elie Wiesel
