Ravensbruck

Post by the mingo » September 19th, 2020, 7:33 am

the torture rooms, the crematories
not a bone, or maggot, or rat, seen
not a scream anywhere
vomit & drizzling **** long since removed from floors & walls
of the gas chambers
all scrubbed, all cleaned up -
not a bit of filth - the sparkle
every door open
every room empty
sanitized
silent
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

it's just eerie to have a memorial there, but what do I know of what comforts people after such atrocities ....I like your handling of then and now...really good images......as if it's possible to scrub it all away

We can't seem to get our story straight.
