Your glow in your darkest hour – a poem for Disability History Month
News
In late October I went on a long, high speed train journey from Audley End to Berlin Hauptbahnhof as part of a pilgrimage to visit the T4 Memorial in Tiergartenstrasse.
A memorial to all those people with disabilities who were killed or forcibly sterilised by the Nazis. Standing on a frigid day seeing the memorial with its metal rims and blue panes of glass, I was moved to write many notes. Some of which became this poem.
I hope that this poem does all those who died at the hands of the Nazi Party and all those who survived justice.
