James E. White Jr. Pens Poetry
YADACITY SHOUT
African American Author James E. White Jr. Pens Poetry depicting the Jewish Holocaust experience in
"Shoah Never Again"
The Pale Sun Hides our Frozen Roofs
Seven Hundred Acres Guarded By Those Nazi Wolves
Their Ghetto Prison Our State Of Isolation
Four Hundred Thousand Jews Enough To Start A Nation
It's The 1940's And Confusion In The Air
Domination and humiliation We Live In Despair
We Muddle Through Days With One Stolen Glance
They Promise Us Life But We Have No Chance....
From "The Greatest Ghetto Of All" in Shoah Never Again
James E. White Jr.
Now that is yadacity!
CNN's Larry King describes Shoah Never Again, the Jewish Holocaust Experience and Selected Poems by African American author James E. White, Jr. as “an explorative selection of poems, White poignantly revisits the Holocaust in this 119-page turner, documenting a chronological descent into one of history's most turbulent times. “
Q: So why a book of poetry about the plight of the Jewish community from the first-time author?
A: White's answer is simple. Humanity. " ...... with February being the month celebrating Black History, I felt what better time to release a book documenting another race's similar plight of dehumanization, discrimination and racism. The atrocities experienced by the Jewish people are the bonds which unite us all as One people. In researching and detailing their plight, my heart and soul opened to an even greater degree. It was a liberating experience as I came to the realization that if one man suffers, we all suffer," expresses White.
Shoah Never Again is a beautiful expression of the human spirit, proving that love knows no colors or boundaries.
The book can be previewed and purchased on-line at www.JWE.com and most on-line bookstores, including Amazon.com and at Barnes and Noble and Border bookstores.
