Stolpersteine

Suffering
(Alphabet poem, 26 words, each starting with a letter of the alphabet)
By Kareen King
Some, unnecessary.
Dread, vice, envy, qualms
Focusing on what’s missing
Negativity bias, pessimism
Gaslighting, killing, judging
Ruminating, yearning
X-communicating

Contrarily? Inevitable.
Aging, loss, hardship, travails
Zingers

Note: The plaque includes the victim's name, date of birth, deportation date and death date, if known. In Berlin, more than 5,000 Stolpersteine have been carefully implanted in the city's sidewalks and streets, serving as a constant reminder of the many valuable lives lost tragically during the Holocaust. As of June 2023, 100,000 Stolpersteine have been laid, making the Stolpersteine project the world's largest decentralized memorial. The majority of Stolpersteine commemorate Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
I remember seeing these plaques when I visited Berlin, they break your heart

Exceptionally poignant tribute and reminder that I hope we never ever repeat that barbarity.
