Johan August Strindberg, was a Swedish novelist, playwright, essayist and painter. Since childhood, Strindberg had a massive interest in religion, natural science, and photography. As a child, he always longed for a maternal figure due to her mother's bitterness and resentment of his intelligence. Later, after the death of her mother, his father married again with Emilia Charlotta Pettersson. This grew anger in Strindberg.
Therefore, circumstance what caused Strindberg to cut off from his family was due to his father's remarriage after his mother's death.
The rain how it fell; the cadaver smell
<span>My eyes transfixed on that pit of Hell, </span>
Vapid flesh foul, horrendously bland.
<span>But why this carnage, I don’t understand; </span>
Retching, gagging, holding back the bile.
<span>I turn from the evil to rest for a while, </span>
<span>From decomposing mothers, fathers and child; </span>
Satan’s work, merciless, callously wild.
<span>Laid out in graves grotesquely remorse, </span>
Lucifer’s carnage has taken its course
<span>In a dance of death, contorted and thin, </span>
Thousands of bodies, bound together by skin.
Now sixty years passed, will I ever forget.
<span>That day when in person, with Satan I met; </span>
He showed me firsthand his evil, his sin.
Flames of contempt still burn deep within.
<span>Wise men instruct us ‘we must never, forget’, </span>
<span>Upon the memory of them, ‘let the sun never set’; </span>
<span>For six million Jews paid the ultimate cost, </span>
<span>I know, I was there, at the great Holocaust.
