Our nerves had reached a breaking point 26
"Sleep peacefully children, nothing will happen 18
until the day after tomorrow"
"Time has come... You must all leave this" 16
The Hungarian police made us climb into cars 22
We were walking slowly, as one follows a hearse, our own funeral procession. 33
"Poor devils, you are headed for the crematorium" 32
Two steps from the pit, we were ordered to turn left, and herded into barracks 31
I pinched myself. 32
Was I alive, was I awake? 32
Never shall I forget the small faces of children 34
whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky
Those who kept silent yesterday will remain silent tomorrow. xiii

This is very dark, isn't it? Well this is a poem, made up from quotes from "Night" by Elie Wiesel. The numbers on the side represent what page the quote came from. If you've ever read "Night" you know that it's a very sad novel about Elie's experience in the Holocaust.
