23554 - In Rhodes

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

In Rhodes
after the battle
were arrested
one thousand and six hundred members
of jewish community
by Gestapo
at the July of 44
and were condemned
to go
to Auschwitz
and only
one hundred and fifty humans
survived
the Holocaust
for this reason now
when you are
at the Square
of Martyrs
don’t forget
about the victims
of barbarity
and look
at the monument.
