AN ABHORRENT OUTRAGE!

HISTORY WILL NOT FORGET, NOR WILL YOU AND I, THE DAY THE USA REFUSED THE JEWS TO LAND, AND TOLD THEM GOODBYE.
MAN'S DOMINATION TO MAN, FIRST THE INDIANS, THEN THE JEW, NO LONGER A MYSTERY, NOW MADE MANIFEST, FOR ALL TO VIEW!
Just look at these beautiful people ........
They could be your Mother, Father,
son or daughter, just to name a few!
Look closely into their eyes, and remember,
This is a picture of you!
For the way you treat others, is also the
way you treat yourself too!
The way your government treats others,
is an indication of the way they will also treat you!
What does it say about a Country, a World Power,
that would hold 937 european people at bay,
not letting them land, but turning them away?
On May 13, 1939, the S.S. St. Louis left
Hamburg, Germany with 937, Jews mostly,
running from Nazi persecution, with hopes
in their hearts, and unending faith, truly sturdy.
Many paid dearly for the journey, money wise,
and having to leave loved ones behind.
Knowing full well, they may never again see
them in their whole lifetime!
Cuba revoked their landing permits.
They were forced to try landing in
Florida, by their wits.
They were so close they could
see the Miami lights.
Urgent cables were sent to the President
and all levels of the U.S. Government.
The outrage....no answers, nor replies
were ever returned!
Another outrage....Coast Guards patrolled
the Floridian Shores,
burning the only bridge to freedom
their hearts had yearned!
On June 7, 1939, the St. Louis
and her passengers, now homeless,
for almost a month, never reached shore!
They were forced to again cross the Atlantic,
hoping some country in Europe would allow
them permission to land ashore.
England, France, Holland and Belguim,
would agree.
They would divide the passengers
and set them free.
Their freedom was short-lived however,
because the Nazii's soon over run
Western Europe, they were trapped!
With their freedom again strapped,
They were kidnapped!
History now records, of the 619 men,
women and children that were sent to
France, Holland, or Belguim, about 260
were deported to killing centers to annihilate.
The USA is blood quilty for every single soul
that was lost, by their dictated stalemate!
The majority of them died, and the rest
of them reached nations from Argentina,
to Australia, to await their fate.
What happened to all these many wonderful
precious people that survived
this horrific tragedy?
That will be the title of my next poem:
"WHAT BECAME OF THE SURVIVORS,
ARE THEY FREE?"

| That was utterly amazing! You have touched on a subject that should addressed a lot more. So many overlook situations like this, but if we look back in history the most ugly mmoments have been spawned by mans greed, want for power and inner evil. Well done once again.Love and inner peace for everyone, broken-glass ox |

The Critters has recorded a view
Known by every American Jew,
Six million were killed in Europe,
No nation caused a to-do
You can hear any number of lies,
But anti-semitism is on the rise,
It's used as a political ploy,
Be they scapegoats as you may surmise.

This is so sad but written really well.
You make history come to life.
I'm never read a history book that explained this so well.
A person can learn to luv history the way u write it.
Awesome!
huggs, luv,

"The extent of your knowledge appears to be limitless. This is yet another fine example of history and poetry coalesced into a sum greater than it's parts," said Vitreous Soul, as he gave a small, humbled bow.
Truly,
V.S. |

the lengths man goes to all because of fear.......what the masters must be thinking up there......will they ever learn?????
you have brought forth knowledge, admiration, validation and hope.....that maybe by re-writing.....re-telling.....these truths.....we'll realize the real truth.....we must love one another with tolerance and compassion to know REAL truth.......once again....connie my friend.....you touch a deep dark place and brighten it........ |

You got guts lady!
Again, highly to be commended for bringing to the attention of the ignorant, - or alas- wilfully forgetful --what has happened in our life time. The unspeakable horror of it.
Woe untio those who can live and look on while their brother is being exterminated and stands idly lby.
11th Commandment"
"THOU SHALT NOT STAND IDLY BY WHILE YOUR BROTHER IS BEING SLAUGHTERED."
Leviticus.
But it happened. Ring it out!
No redemption without avowal.of monstrous wrong!
Bravo Sue Con!
