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
