Schächter lost her mind
Jews, listen to me, a fire!
This terrible fire! 
Jews, look! Look at the fire! Please
her screams, mute, absent,alone

She is mad, possessed
Look at the flames! I see fire!
those flames, some evil
untouched by optimism 
fallen silent on her own.

Piercing eyes
A piercing cry
In the faint light filtering through the windows
Reason with her
Soothe her
A withered tree in a field of wheat
Flames devouring her
To doze 
To dream
Her blank gaze fixed on some faraway place
Rhythmic pounding of the wheels on the tracks
The stench
The heat
She no longer saw us
Absent
Shattered
There was nothing
Only the darkness of night

Mute, absent and alone
Her existence forgotten

Flames, darkness
We stared,
The smell of burning flesh in the air

Mrs. Schäter had lost her mind
Her sobs and screams became hysterical
“Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire!”

Trying to hold her hand

The young men bound and gagged her
Her son was clinging desperately to her
He was no longer crying
