Publisher's Synopsis
"The world must heed the warning that comes to us from the victims of the Holocaust and from the testimony of the survivors. In the face of great suffering and horror, our initial inclination is silence and proclaiming "never again." Yet that is not enough. We must maintain a constant vigil against evil that degrades or denies the human dignity of any human person or persons. Tim Heerdink's Red Flag and Other Poems calls us to examine our own silence in the face of old hatreds and renewed prejudices in the 21st century." - The Publisher
"The topics of extermination and segregation talked about in this collection are very shocking. Never forget, always forgive, or else risk losing your humanity." - Dydda, author of Where the Birds Gather, What the Trees Hide, Hope Bleeds, and Napalm Psalms
"A call to action, urging us not to turn a blind eye to red flags or forget the history behind us. A stark reminder of the Holocaust and a warning of lurking dangers with technology and politics." - Jenna Citrus, author of An Opened Book End
Proceeds from the sale of this book go to the C.A.N.D.L.E.S. Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Terre Haute, Indiana.
