HATINOKES
The numbers involved in churban hashoa are beyond comprehension to my limited mind.
The following incident brings the horror home to me in all it's terrifying reality:
The Nazi animals entered a certain shtetl, grabbing any and all Jews they found and shoving them into trucks to be taken to the camps. Suddenly a heartrendering scream rent the air as a young woman came running towards the truck.
"my babies, please, give me my babies!" she begged the guard as he locked the truck.
" Which ones are your children?" he asked. With a trembling hand, she pointed to her 3 innocent kinderlach who were crammed into the truck, crying, reaching their little arms out towards their mother, begging to be saved.
"As a sign of my compasion," the soldier articulated loudly, his cruel sneer evident to all, "I will let you have your child.
Pick which ONE you wish to save!"
Tatte in Himmel!
How could Your cup not be overflowing with tears! :'( :'( :'(
How can Your heart; more tender than that of the most loving new mother, not be shattered? :'( :'( :'(
How deep is our sin that You punish Yourself so harshly? :'( :'( :'(
ENOUGH TATTE, ENOUGH!
Due to our aveiros, generations were erased throughout Europe. We are a generation of ORPHANS. Tatte, how can You blame poor orphans for having the middos of the goyishe world around us when we were forced to live amongst them without role models? ???
Can a prince be blamed for acting like a peasant if he was raised amongst them instead of in the palace under the tutorage of scholars and the king himself?
Please our Tatte, our King, bring us home so we can learn what it means to be the son of the king!
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
With a broken and humble heart,
Your smallest of princesses,
