A Discreet Gesture ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A discreet gesture,

The beginning of it all.

They re-armed, so what?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Then Hitler shows up.

The Chancellor of Deuchland*

A peaceful person.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wait! All the Roma,

The homosexuals too,

Where are they all now?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Rhineland, Austria,

The Chezs and all the Polish,

Where is small Deuchland*?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Who do we all fear?

Germany and Italy,

The superpowers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Star of David,

The symbol of all our faith,

Proclaimed me a Jew.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My family and I,

We had to leave all our friends.

Away we fled.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We had just moved in,

Soon, we found ourselves betrayed.

Gestapo guards came.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They took us away,

To Auschwitz they took our group.

Deep in Germany.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Peaceful? Hitler? Humph!

No longer worshiped was he.

Now, he scared us all.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No, we won't survive.

The fleas in crowded barracks,

We were scarecrows.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Betrayer, I wish,

I wish you would rot in hell,

A hell like Auschwitz.
