It was 1939
People weren't saying "nein"
Hitler was in power and
he made us cower
we were crowded in a train
everyone cried in vain
I was sent to Lodz
all contact was closed
the officerse came
many were slain
were moved again
women and men
sent to a camp
it was cold and damp
the allies arrived
I survived
the war ended in time
I seek my parents in Palestine

Peace to everyone
An excellent place to be
Loved
Exciting
Safe haven
The Holy Land
Inviting
Not dangerous
Everybody is equal
Jewish
belief system
denied religious rights
it's amazing that they survived
belief
