And many years afterward

when we were freed,

it was difficult

to find a way back into the world,

into the beautiful world,

where green grows,

where no person threatens us,

and wants to kill us.

The fear is still in us.

I’ll never succeed at

forgetting that.

Never.

As long as I’m alive,

I’ll think about that,

what they did with us

Hitler and his people.

My wish for the world

is that people pay attention

and go through the world

with open eyes and see

that something like this

never happens again.

Every person should think for themselves,

I have the freedom

to kill another

and to take their life.
