    Władysław Szpilman
    “I sometimes give recitals in the building at number 8 Narbutt Street in Warsaw where I carried bricks and lime – where the Jewish brigade worked: the men who were shot once the flats for German officers were finished. The officers did not enjoy their fine new homes for long. The building still stands, and there is a school in it now. I play to Polish children who do not know how much human suffering and mortal fear once passed through their sunny schoolrooms. I pray they may never learn what such fear and suffering are.”

    Sherman Alexie
    “Everyone I have lost
    in the closing of a door
    the click of the lock

    is not forgotten, they
    do not die but remain
    within the soft edges
    of the earth, the ash

    of house fires and cancer
    in sin and forgiveness
    huddled under old blankets

    dreaming their way into
    my hands, my heart
    closing tight like fists.

    - "Indian Boy Love Song #1”
    Sherman Alexie, The Business of Fancydancing
