This is a reading of "What the War Taught Her," a poem about my mother's experiences in the slave labor camps of Nazi Germany. She spent 2 and a half years in those camps. The poem appeared in my book about my parents, Lightning and Ashes.
The reading is one of a series posted by Henryk Gajewski. To see more of the readings, click here.

John,
ReplyDeleteThis is very powerful, well written peace. A true testimony to how we, humans, are shaped in the most horrifying moments of our history.
Let's peace reign! Yeah!
