This week marks the 77th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. It's an anniversary during which another European war is being fought. So today I read poems about World War II, in commemoration of the end of that war but also as a reminder that such a war can happen again.  I begin with a poem for Ukraine by Serhiy Zhadan and read poems by John Ciardi, Harry Rosolenko, John Frederick Nims, Randall Jarrell, Miklós Radnóti, and Ephim G. Fogel.
