Operation Spring Wind


Letters from Drancy

Four thousand children
Ripped from their mothers’ arms
Using truncheons and ice water

Women, like animals,
Raged and bared teeth
Placed in cattle cars, all the same

Four thousand motherless children
In Vel de Hiv
With soiled clothes and knotted hair
Scavenging in the dust 
Destined for Auschwitz
