There Was A People

By Jonah Rye

But the folk turned their ear to a different sound, that did not lift but shook them, took them down, led them to imagine the unimaginable, to conceive the inconceivable, commit the impossible. The folk banished music . . . They banished light.

Hope and despair, love and promises, courage and betrayal and magic in the time of genocide.

'Biding our time, abiding them, waiting for someone to do something, someone to come to their senses, to be reasonable, biding, abiding, we let it happen, made it happen. We abetted them.'
