son of a nazi
shoulders young but strong
hold the burden of heavy oven heat
and deadly toxic gas
unnecessary operations
left tortured bones piled and distorted
shattering images of a father
like derailed train tracks en route
home from the 11 million war
delicate fingers could have been friends
but instead hate created enemies
of brown freckled knees, purple skies, and blue eyed men
