Thread: PBS Documentary: Auschwitz--Inside the Nazi State

Charles, I missed that program. Such a terribly emotional topic. How was the program? How did they handle the horrors that happened there?

I read a couple of the poems. Very touching.

Thanks for the link. I thought that perhaps you had seen it from your post. I'll check it out.

Unknown Girl in Auschwitz
by Charles L. Cingolani


She was fifteen
when they dragged her out
a cellar window
in Göttingen
where she had spent
two years
in hiding.

She wasn't much
to look at
but she could love,
and now
in the line
to the gas chamber
her only thought was
her Lover
she knew
was waiting
to embrace her,
tenderly.

And Thomas
on seeing her face
felt God closer here
than in any other place.

I attended a symposium last summer at my alma mater- Appalachian State- on the Holocaust. I found it a highly worthwhile experience, not to mention worth 4 CEUs. I got to meet some Holocaust survivors and to learn a lot. It takes 4 days of your summer, but it was worth every minute. Here's a link- if you could get there, I encourage you to go. Here's a couple of links:
