On the back of his tombstone are the names of 9 family members he lost in the Holocaust. Five siblings, mother, father, 2 grandparents. It is said that 1 in 3 european jews survived. He was 1 in 10 who survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow. Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing against a white stone. . . Such, such a yellow Is carried lightly 'way up high. It went away I'm sure because it wished to kiss the world good-bye. For seven weeks I've lived in here, Penned up inside this ghetto. But I have found what I love here. The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut branches in the court. Only I never saw another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don't live in here, in the ghetto. Pavel Friedmann was a Czech man who died in Auschwitz in 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
