The Holocaust Chronicle

It stands apart and beyond in its
pitiless cruelty, though humankind
has never been tasked more deeply
than it could find a response within 
itself to demonstrate amply in the past
that no problem seems to exist with
most people's capabilities in rising
to the challenge of committing
themselves to a participatory action
as a group project in advancing 
atrocities, doing their part, so it
seems, in adding to human history's
vast inventory of denials of the human
rights of others. Ah, said the sages in
their ineffably worldly wisdom:
education is key. The final solution
to address such vicious brutality
is to introduce minds through education
and exposure to the arts, philosophy,
the sciences, a culture of redeeming
social value to augment the sweat
of academic credentials bringing
them the equity of their earning power.
And so, the great experiment was
undertaken by a national socialist
governing nation whose pride in its
cultivated traditions was the envy of 
the civilized world, awaiting results.
