Just a Girl

Just a girl, not a soldier or a politician.

Just a girl, the only threat she posed was that one day her smiley face would melt someone’s heart.

Just a girl, no hate to be seen in her eyes.

Just a girl, the only wish she had was to grow up.

Just a girl, just a girl, just a girl.

A girl with no political agenda

A girl with no weapons

A girl whose life was cut short.

A girl who could not even blow out eight candles on a birthday cake.

A girl who was hated and feared by idiots who did not recognize her value.

A girl who was murdered.

Just a girl, a sister, and a daughter

Just a girl who is now an eternal memory. She has a place among the stars.

Sarah Eva Vleeschhouwer
Born in Rotterdam on 1 September 1936. Murdered in Auschwitz, on 11 February. She reached the age of seven years.

  2. I disagree, I feel they discussion of responsibility is very pertinent to this not happening again. Memory without preventing future episodes to me means little. I hope there are some readers who agree.

    1. Which I also do. But if you only make it about the criminals, and forget to remember the victims,be it in pictures or words,you kill them again because they will be forgotten and the criminals will be remembered
