Just a copy of the final epilogue

Alejandrin 2022-01-12 08:01:14

I told you all about the time, the pond and the ruins of a mass grave filled with ice water, empty
cold muddy water, like our memories of war cloudy asleep
but you never opened his eyes
grass covered again the concentration camp surveillance field near
an abandoned village still dangerous because of heavy
incinerator has now shut down Nazi deceit has become a child's trick
nine million souls wandering the countryside
looking out with us from this strange watchtower in
Is it reminding visitors to be wary of new executioners?
Are their faces really different from ours?
Among us, the lucky prisoners are still alive,
and the reinstated Nazi officers and anonymous informants.
Some people refuse to believe, or only temporarily believe that
we look at this pile of ruins with serious eyes
, like an old monster forever fall under the rubble
when the screen into the past, we pretend once again full of hope
seems to concentration camps suffering this recovery
we pretend that all this will only occur at a particular time and place once
we turn a blind eye to things around
non-stop for humanity Crying deaf ears

Night and Fog quotes

  • Récitant/Narrator: Those of us who pretend to believe that all this happened at a certain time and in a certain place, and those who refuse to see, who do not hear the cry to the end of time.

  • Récitant/Narrator: As I speak to you now, the icy water of the ponds and ruins fill the hallows of the mass graves, a frigid and muddy water, as murky as our memory. War nods off to sleep, but keeps one eye always open.
