Between the and the Vistula crammed Between swamps, guard chains, barbed Auschwitz Concentration Camp, the cursed nest That inmates like an evil plague.
there is malaria, typhus and other things Where anguish eats at your heart, Where upon thousands are imprisoned Far from their homeland, far wife and child.
You see rows of rise built by inmates Through storm and you have to carry bricks and sand Block after springs up, for thousands of men All of for those who are yet to come.
you see columns pass you by You can often see fathers, brothers You aren't allowed to say hello, that mean their death To do so you involuntarily increase woe.
you see the columns walk by The commands resound on the left, two You have no right to say here. When you often to scream for help.
Along with lice and fleas, rages, Many thousands have perished miserably, Indeed you are here night and day And every step is watched by guards.
Father, mother are you by now? No one our heartache Here you are only allowed to dream of a From where fate drove you out.
Should I see you again, my country And like so thousands go up the chimney, Hail, my beloved family and there of me from time to time, who was forced to leave.
Written by a girl in Auschwitz Concentration Camp In 1942 from the transports.
