[Cz-L] Holocaust Poem read in Panama City

Czernowitzers:

A few days ago, I returned from Panama City, where I delivered four
speeches in three days.
( see http://ehpes.com/blog1/2013/04/04/ruth-gold-speech-in-panama-city/ )

On the evening of Yom Hashoah in Temple Beith El of Panama City, I
started my testimony with the following poem:

A ROMANIAN POEM

"In aprigul Holocaust
de deportati, raniti, ostateci, schinguiti
evocand gropile de
...prunci striviti deolalta cu
parinti, surori:
puiandri stinsi nainte de-a afla
ca viata poarta ceruri si candore;
estropiati, cei puscati in ceafa
sau casa[iti cu sapa,-
caltinati din soproane,-
osemintele loe se zbat
si suna arare
din tibii, glezne si picioare
silabisind, clar si respicat:
RAZBUNARE
pentru miile si miile de abatoare."

Camil Baltazar, a Romanian Poet

"In the cruel Holocaust
of deportees, wounded, hostages, tortured
evoking graves full of infants
crushed together with parents and sisters:
pullets extinguished before discovering
that life carries skies and purity;
maimed, those shot in the neck or stabbed with a hoe
calcinated in the sheds."
"Their bones struggle
and rarely sound
from shinbones to ankles and feet
sillabizing clear and bluntly
VENGEANCE
for the thousands and thousand
of carnages."

(Translated by Ruth Glasberg Gold)
