A dramatic poem by JON SlLKIN
Read by Nigel Anthony Miriam Margolyes and John Rowe
' There is no language some say, that could speak of this. And some no language that should speak.'
Finn and Kye await the birth of their first child with joy. But he is born without recognisable intelligence and dies while still a baby. Under unbearable strain their marriage starts to crack Stein, a Buchenwald survivor, tells them how he has seen humanity triumph even there. In describing it. he liberates himself from the past.
