Death thinks, animosity thinks And still, it’s possible to burn The most beautiful meaning of all, The meaning of human being * Holocaust means: Human being With its teeth of bomb, artillery and bullet Is the wildest beast of all. * I watch women’s hair They have cut them like hair of the sheep How is it possible not to see caress in hair? * How is it possible not see child in mother And mother in child? Where is the red line of human being, then? * In Auschwitz, Upon entering into a block I would search the light of exit sign. * Auschwitz means: It is still possible to change the meaning of human being And still it’s possible to transform The majestic human being into a number And still, it’s possible to define the star as you like. * Auschwitz means: Human being hasn’t yet become So intelligent and heavenly to Prevents crime from climbing on it * Auschwitz was a slaughter house for meanings In Auschwitz the inmates weren’t allowed To stand upright in their words And have free time of recreation in their aspirations * Please write your names and addresses clearly on your luggage We just want to replace you… You’ve been travelling in freight trains for several days You are exhausted, thirsty, and hungry Before resting, you’d better take a gas shower! * Welcome to the factory of death, Auschwitz! Here,” your only escape route is through chimney holes.” * It is said that the difference between a human being and an animal Is that a human being talks The greater difference might be his ability to lie * How soon the absolute power separates its heart for other hearts Is it possible to melt the words of human in the furnace of power And transform it into a soft and malleable wax? Wasn’t it the absolute power of Hitler that Turned into the soft wax, The words of so many doctors, army officers and soldiers? * Father Maximilian* offered his life to a prisoner And thus, helped escape the meaning of human being from Auschwitz Father Maximilian didn’t allow them to burn the meaning of human being * To forget Holocaust How many feasts should be held? In Cracow Women don’t allow Auschwitz to speak louder than life! And vigilantly lead life through its deaths * Holocaust is the most dreadful well of history! Holocaust is the blackest stain on words Holocaust should be mixed with all noble human alarms And forgotten.
