at the beginning, a sea of
people
the crowd wearing yellow
stars
over 100,000 with them
a third of the town
the Jews Hitler gathered up
now only 800, 12 children
only
when they were given freedom
their yellow stars saved them
the mark of their religion
the Jews remaining
leaving the ghetto

The Granary
This poem is about my memory,
of the jarring sensation
seeing a photograph circa 1994,
of one of the all-time
great pictures, capturing evil,
before it rose up to full flowering
of Joseph Goebbels,
in 1933 at the League of Nations
Life Magazine article about the photo
on display at The Granary Gallery
on Martha’s Vineyard
taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898 - 1995),
a master of black and white. Photojournalist of the
century, http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue9911/eisieintro.htm.

is not forgetting; it's actually remembering—
remembering
and not using your right to hit back.”
