Shoah is a documentary concerned mainly with the non-Jewish witnesses to anti-semitic persecution under Hitler’s leadership.
Invading their memories
he sought their hell
that he might understand
and make real
a world, a time–gone
but for the remembering.
His words in knife-thrust parries
exposed and subjected all
that he might gouge
their image upon his film.
Till at last
though still a young man,
his eyes became like theirs:
Old eyes
the eyes of the too long living
eyes where the light of life
is pale and far behind.
And his voice became the trailing
whimper as of one lost–
an echo of the voices
he had sealed in documentary.
