war

Today i cried. finally i watched the classic- Schindler's list. some of you might have seen it before, some of you might have heard about it before but all of you should have known about the halocaust.

The massacre of 6 million jews were retold in books and texts around the world. i had read about it but never had the opportunity to really understand the horrors and atrocities of world. watching the show does not make me truly realise the sufferings the innocents suffer but somehow i felt so helpless.

Young jews were cartered awayed to another location infront of their families. people shot at random. scenes of helpless victims brought to a chamber and left there. it dawns on me that the people is not only fearful of death but the hopelessness of the cause. they do not know when their turn will come. a fast death is preferred but often humilation and torturing were the chosen one. after world world 2, less than 4000 jews remained in poland. to put that in perspective, maybe 2% survived..

Just like the killing fields in cambodia when millions of cambodians were systematically disposed of, there is no real meaning towards the horror unleashed. i prayed not only for the dead but the souls of those responsible for the killings. they have mostly died but their children shall always bear the strain of having murderous parents. their children will be known as offsprings from the root of evil. may they rest in peace..

I miss austwitchz when i went to krakow. i will go there in 2 weeks time alone. i guess i need to be there alone. to try envisage the terror the poor victims must have felt. i pray for them. may they rest in peace.
