A very talented poet, R. Gabriele S. Silten has written "Parsha Poems," an inspiring piece of literature. Silten lives in Pomona, California, and is a child survivor of the Holocaust. She was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1933 and emigrated with her parents to Holland in 1938.
Introduction by Rabbi Bernhard H. Rosenberg
In addition to Parsha Poems, Silten compiled and edited the book "Lizkor Vilichvod" ("To Remember and to Honor") for the 2011 International Conference of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust and Second and Third Generations.
The Holocaust is the systematic mass murder of European Jewry by the Nazis. The term Holocaust literally means a fire that causes total destruction. Historian Yehuda Bauer differentiates between genocide and the Holocaust, emphasizing the uniquely total nature of Nazi policy.
The Nazis wished to conquer the world and therefore threatened the very existence of every single Jew. While many groups were persecuted and murdered, only the Jews were singled out for the Final Solution.
Hitler viewed Jews as a virus to be eliminated and believed himself a messianic figure carrying out divine work. All individuals with Jewish ancestry were sentenced to death, something never planned for other populations.
In his final hours, Hitler continued to urge the destruction of Jews, even diverting vital war resources to concentration camps. Germany collapsed, but his obsession remained unchanged.
This ideology resulted in the murder of my grandparents, siblings, and extended family. I became a Rabbi to prevent another Holocaust and to teach its lessons to the world.
I fear that future generations will dilute the Holocaust into a general tragedy, forgetting that Jews were its primary target. We must remember all victims, but never erase historical truth.
I was born in a displaced persons camp and came to America as a refugee. “Parsha Poems” is one more way to preserve the memory of the Holocaust and ensure it is never forgotten.
