Anne Ranasinghe and Karen Gershon both wrote a great deal of Holocaust themed poetry. They were German Jews, each sent by their families to England as teenagers in order to escape the Nazis.
Each poem chosen is a message from poet to daughter. Since both Anne and Karen lost their mothers at such a young age, these poems are particularly poignant. As the mother of three (including one daughter), I was touched on a very emotional level.
