Arise Oh Children of Israel Mommy is it night time, Why is the sky so grey? The war has come, my dear, blackout time that's what she'd say. Mommy what is that sign And why do we wear a star? It's the German's swastika, dear They took us away we travelled so far. Mommy where are we going And why did he call us that name? I do not know, my dear To a concentration Camp we came. Schnell! Schnell! The soldiers order In lines we all pile out. Achtung! Achtung alle Judine! An unseen speaker grates and shouts. Mommy where has daddy gone Will he come back again? He's dead, we're living dead, it's all the same. We thank the Lord For this our bondage For frailty, hunger and ever suffering May manna to our dead be given God's Jewish nation has arisen. By Joanne (1992) |
