Remember
when they grabbed us
and dragged us to the camps?
And the world stood by in silence and asked us to forgive?
But the S.S. tortured us - never let us forget we are
Jews.
And do you remember when we were liberated and we were
looking
for our parents, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters?
But they had perished - six millions of them.
And the world told us: forgive and forget.
And do you remember that a new generation grew up in
Israel
and they never wanted to forgive their parents for
marching
into the gas chambers like a bunch of sheep without
resisting?
And we tried to forget.
But then do you remember that voices appeared telling
the rest
of the world, that the Holocaust never happened?
And there was nothing to forgive or to forget.
And when the rest of us gathers here in memory of our
dear ones,
who perished during the Holocaust, some of us like to
remember
Some of us might be ready to forgive
But none of us should ever forget.
