The Voice of Conflict

Extracts from AUSCHWITZ by Elizabeth Wyser


"My God!... They're locking those bloody great doors!
Why?...It can't be!"

"All eyes watching, wondering.
No sound."

"Gas!  Gas!  Gas!  Panic!"

"Flesh on flesh - clutching and tearing.
Gas, screams, death...silence."


The voices in  this poem are truly poignant; they express the confusion, panic and terror that must have been present in this horrific moment.  'Auschwhitz' lends itself to performance and dramatisation by suggesting emotion in the language used.....
