Amazing song.

 

“For in the end, it is all about memory, its sources and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences.”- Elie Wiesel, Night.

 

“Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed....Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.” - Elie Wiesel, Night.

Hauntingly beautiful...both Mission's song and the poem.

 

In the cemetery I do most of my walking in, there is a section protected by a hedge row, hard to see if you don't know what you're looking for.  It's the Jewish section of the cemetery, hidden beyond the hedges, rocks piled upon gravestones, as is customary, instead of flowers.  However, one piece sits without a single stone upon it.

 

 

I stop there to pray on every walk, though the content of my prayer varies...my patron saint was killed at Auschwitz, as were so many others.   To remember those who would not survive, and those who did, and to think about all those who barely even know such an event happened.  As Elie Weisel put it, "For the dead and the living, we must bear witness."
