There is a pair of red shoes
There is a pair of red shoes
Number twenty-four
almost New:
inner sole can still be seen on the brand of factory
"Shulze Monaco"
there is a pair of red shoes
top a pile of children's shoes
Buchenwald
more in there is a pile of blonde curls
of black hair and brown
Buchenwald
were used to make blankets for soldiers
not waste anything
them and the children undressed and shaved them
before pushing in the gas chambers
there a pair of red shoes
of red shoes for Sunday
Buchenwald
were a child of three years
perhaps three and a half years
who knows that color were his eyes
burned in furnaces
but we can imagine her crying
know how the children weep
even his feet
we can imagine them
shoe number twenty-four
for eternity
because the feet of the dead children do not grow
there is a pair of red shoes
Buchenwald
nearly new
because the feet of the dead children
not consume the soles.
Joyce Salvadori Lussu
Joyce Salvadori (Salvadori Gioconda), better known under her married name of Joyce Lussier (Florence, May 8, 1912 - Rome, 4 November 1998) was a writer, translator and Italian partisans, a silver medal for military valor.
-Home is where you are right, said: where you live in harmony with its neighbors, where he willingly returns at home, finding friends. But there also means cross borders and meet other, similar but different to us. "You laugh and cry all in the same way," used to say. The hatred and violence comes from the exploitation, coercion, robbery of the vital need: food, rest, emotions, thought, freedom, men and women equally necessary.
story was his way of turning his thoughts, because the origin of every person and every thing there is always a story.
And us, continuing his thought, says:
Felix Nussbaum (1904-1944 ).
The image speaks for itself (AL)
raining and raining.
Under the slanting rain that falls, I sit.
Tamburella on my bare head,
cola eyebrows burned,
flows inside the mouth that bleeds.
Rain shoulder injury,
rain in my heart torn.
Rain, rain, rain.
What is still living?
These verses were written by a survivor of Hiroshima, Kazuo, but these words going beyond every border shared by all peoples of reflection and sound a warning for all humanity.
I would go alone
Where there is another best people,
somewhere unknown
where no one kills.
But maybe we'll go in many
Towards this dream,
in a thousand maybe
and why not now?
In the town of Terezin, not far from Prague, were deported between 1942 and 1944 fifteen thousand children.
Words suriportate Alena SynkovĂ are one of them.
reflect together in a religious silence.
