THE WIND STILL MOURNS is the culmination of David Heller’s reflections on the Holocaust, first studied as an adult while completing his honors thesis at Harvard. With this compendium of poetry, Dr. Heller brings a survivor- child’s heartfelt emotions along with his scholarly perceptions to capture the agony and horror of man’s inhumanity. At the same time, he expounds on the infinite lingering questions of faith and doubt that follow the Holocaust, as well as the very nature of mankind. Among the topics that his poems address are the following: his father’s harrowing experiences and losses, the anatomy of evil, the contempt of the other , fascism, the world’s indifference and passivity, the mixed nature of life, the importance of remembrance, making sense of the senseless, the question of justice, modern versions of Nazism, the struggle over faith, and the unique life journey for a descendant of the Holocaust legacy. These selections are as moving as they are thought-provoking, as relevant today as they were in the last barbarous century.
