Between the Sola and the crammed Between swamps, chains, barbed wire Auschwitz Concentration Camp, the cursed nest That inmates hate an evil plague.
Where is malaria, typhus and other things Where great anguish at your heart, thousands upon thousands are imprisoned Far from homeland, far from wife and child.
You see rows of buildings rise by inmates Through storm and you have to carry bricks and sand after block 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, there You aren't to say hello, that will mean their death To do so you increase their woe.
Sadly you see the walk by The commands on the left, two three You have no right to say here. When you often to scream for help.
Along lice and fleas, fever rages, Many thousands already perished miserably, Indeed you are tormented here and day And your step is watched by guards.
Father, mother are you home by No one suspects our Here you are allowed to dream of a home From fate shamelessly drove you out.
Should I see you again, my country And like so thousands go up the chimney, Hail, my beloved family and there Think of me from time to time, who was to leave.
Written by a Slovakian girl in Auschwitz Concentration In 1942 from the transports.
