PAMELA SARGENT

Gather Blue Roses

Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Treblinka, Majdanek, Sobibor, Chelmo—the deathfurnaces of the Holocaust, open wounds in the confused conscience of a civilized, modern world. Their fires, still stoked by kindlings of anti-Semitism, illuminate what lies below and beyond civilization’s fragile constructions.

The Jew carries this burden of the past into a hostile present. Reluctantly, he passes it on to his children. Here is a story about those children, a melancholy prose-poem made up of fleeting after-images, a bad dream that finds its own reality. It is a slow descent into a cold future buried in the present, a present where only love and the strength of children can insure survival.

J. D.
