Today is holocaust remembrance day here
and yet the world is still such a hateful place,
it worries me so much
I as a Jew have been brought up
on so many  horror stories
they tell us as children
your ancestors
were murdered starved and  were beaten for being Jewish
for thousands and thousands of years
most recently being in 1939
but there are many hate crimes that have happened since then.

When I lived in America
I too felt that hatred
towards me
because I was a Jew
in 2019
so it made me leave
to my jewish country.
where we are still killed for being here
for just existing
its like with each death
my heart becomes more and more numb
to the death of my people
all because of needless hate
I wonder if  hate can do that ,
can love heal this and heal us ?
or when my  great grandparents felt that hatred too,
In Germany in 1924, so they left in 1926.

love can truly heal our world
I still will believe that ,
no matter what.
