We played, we laughed
We were loved.

We were ripped from the arms of our
Parents and thrown into the fire.

We were nothing more than children.

We had a future.

We were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, and mothers.
We had dreams, we had no hope.

We were taken away in the dead of night like cattle in cars, no air to breathe
Smothering, crying, starving, dying.

Separated from the world to be no more.
From the ashes, hear our plea.

This atrocity to mankind cannot happen again.

Remember us, for we were the children whose dreams and lives were stolen away.
