Oświęcim
She never used the word Auschwitz .
I think she thought that by saying that word she would surrender to the Germans.
All the days of her life she kept calling this place by its Polish name : Oświęcim.
But the true abomination was said in the words Anneke Beesemer :her childhood friend .
She waited for well over a year for her to get back.
She looked out of the window after school and hoped to see her face.
Holland didn't cared much for their survivors.
But she did .
By looking out for Anneke Beesemer she saw a few come back. Their houses where occupied by new people who didn't want to give their houses back.
The shame of a nation lies next to hate and greed .
This is what she saw when she was 14 years old
It was also the year she died.
She took breath for another 49 years and passed away.
Not being able to love nor receive it.
In memoriam for my Mum and Anneke Beesemer
