They were waiting here for the train
Not a word had been spoken
And yet they knew there was significance to their waiting.
Circumstances had placed them here as much as led them on.
This was their future, their hopes, their dreams, their everything.
The train would take them home.

I love this. I’m thinking “Don’t get on that train!” but of course they have no choice. My interpretation is this train is going to Auschwitz. I find this story moving because of it. Thank you Bruce, and well done
