I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

goodness that was a hauntingly beautiful haiku
but still words cannot capture it
As the Holocaust passes from living memory, I worry for the future. Like the atom bomb, it needs to remain a never-again event, but humans have such poor memories.
That artwork outside the museum is beautiful and chilling at the same time. A truly gifted artist.
Wow. I can imagine being nearly wordless at such a place.
THANK YOU for being a witness for me today. i am silent, silent.
deflated by the sad beauty.
My 3ww offering for the week.
A most humbling poem Gemma. Well done.
What a powerful Collage or words and pictures depicting the reminder and remnants of truly-lived-horror.

Aside from the obvious horror, It struck me what the artist must have been feeling during the creation of those pieces. Where would you go in your self to pull that out. They are haunting, horrifyingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
i think you ve caught the three words in a web!

Thanks for reminding everyone in pictures and words, the horror of the time.
So sad, but it MUST be kept alive, we can't forget history.
What Bunnygirl said. And thank you for this powerful post. People must never, ever forget the lessons of history or the horrors that are wrought by hate and fanaticism.
