We Are The Shoes

If you ever find yourself in Washington D.C. there are a million free museums, but take my advice and put the Holocaust museum on your list of places to see.




We are the shoes, We are the last witnesses
We are shoes from grandchildren and grandfathers.
From Prague, Paris and Amsterdam
And because we are only made of fabric and leather
And not of blood and flesh,
Each one of us avoided the Hellfire

-Moses Schulstein, Yiddish poet
