Eli blog post #4

Hope
Gazing off into the distance
There they went, defeated, their bundles, their lives in tow,
having left behind their homes, their childhood
Time had slowed down.
When had we left our homes?
Her little boy was crying
She looked straight into my eyes
She said
“Hitler will not be able to harm us”
“I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else.
He alone has kept his promises”
After a long silence, he gave No response
In less than three days
I had arrived. In Birkenau.

Hope was still alive.
