Germany is a warzone: barren, silent,
Shivers and angst filled the air.
No more hope for us Jews, we are isolated.
It is unfair.
It was time: soon to be dawn,
You called yourself my neighbor.
Your children played with mine.
We laughed and cried together.
It seemed like you were there when we had no time
But yet, when the demons came marching,
Nazi Guards
Our tale can't tell
All prisoners here--alive in Hell
I eat the dust
She licks the floor
Just to survive--Nothing more
She's drug away
put in a room
It started with an idea for political change; Putting a man in charge who believed in only his way; It started small with restricting laws; Soon concentration camps were made and millions lost;
Christmas Day, the supposed day of the birth of Jesus, is the day of giving presents, eating food, and spending long stretches of time with family.
They were brought down
Down to the pits of the darkest spectrum
Beyond a trace of relief, a glimmer of hope
They were menaced, chided, and turned
Beaten, battered, and burned
There’s a sound of broken glass,
A rush of fear and the sound of dogs.
Our silence is deep,
But I know it won’t last.
My mother said a bad man is in charge.
He wants to hurt us because we’re Jews.
The cattle car stopped, our ten day trip we hoped to be through
So much hatred from a Nazi, so much hatred toward a Jew
Our belongings were taken, to where we don’t know
The pile of suitcases beginning to grow
The night of Broken Glass
The night of Broken hearts,
They're crying in the streets,
Their hearts are torn apart---
Can you hear them?
Crying
Night of Broken Hearts
