In the depths of darkness, a tragedy untold
A horror of mankind, a story to unfold
The Holocaust, a stain on humanity
A time of pain, a time of insanity

Innocent lives taken, families torn apart
The sound of screams, forever etched in the heart
The smell of death, a constant reminder
Of the atrocities committed, forever a reminder

Jewish people targeted, their faith their only crime
A systematic genocide, a methodical design
The world watched in silence, as the flames rose high
As six million souls, were condemned to die

The horrors of the Holocaust, can never be erased
The memories linger, the scars never fade
But through the pain and suffering, a lesson to be learned
To never forget the past, and let history repeat unturned

So let us honor the victims, and remember their names
Let us stand up against hate, and work to end its reign
For the Holocaust may be over, but its legacy remains
A reminder to strive for peace, and to break free from chains.
