Righteous Among the Nations

[garethroi]

at a time when everyone around was going mad
when the whole world was glass breaking
you brought us food, hid us in your rooves
your cellars, your secret rooms & attics
we were your neighbours & unlike the too many
who looked away, or actively joined in
you concealed, aided, resisted, sheltered, smuggled
despite risk of your own death
despite your whole family bearing collective
responsibility for your compassion
you did not abandon when you were needed most

Thank you, garethroi, for composing and posting Righteous Among the Nations! Your message truly resonates with me. It took so much courage to resist the mass murderers, courage of comparatively few, courage that should be honored and remembered ALWAYS! "Never again!" Monica
