From Saloniki to Auschwitz (Seven Days Locked Up)
Seven days locked upin boxcars for animals,
once every three days
they would take us out for air.
My dearest mother,
you were fortunate
in dying in your country
and not passing through the chimney.
My dearest father,
who would have told you
that you would come with your brother
to the crematorium of Auschwitz!
Father and mother, brothers and sisters,
may you all be supplicants
to the Master of the world
to grant me health
and remove me from these camps
to recite for you the Kaddish!
