A Warning From History
(70th Anniversary of the
Holocaust
& Closure of Auschwitz)
The Auschwitz
Concentration Camp,
proclaimed for
all to see;
“Arbeit Macht
Frei”- which to translate,
means that,
“Work makes you free”.
This maxim was
hung proudly high,
above the Camp’s
main gate;
And gave no hint
or notice of
each prisoner’s vile fate.
At the Camp at
Guantanamo,
it says they’re,
“Honour Bound
To Defend
Freedom”, even though,
that statement
may dumbfound.
The
waterboarding torture deeds,
are a depravity;
And a
Gestapo-like attack,
upon humanity.
The above Gothic font known as Walbaum Fractur was typical
of the ‘Germanic’ type fonts favoured by Bismarck and was
officially
used by the Nazis until 1941 when Hitler declared them to be
‘Jewish’ and decreed that the more modern Antiqua font be
used.
