They take me for a mad man
Look! Look at it! Fire! A terrible Fire!
They don’t understand
They take me for a mad man



We had reached a station
Those next to us told us its name
Auschwitz
They took me for a mad man



They took me for a mad man
In front of the flames
The air smelling of burning flesh
Mercy!

They took me for a mad man
Men to the left
Women to the right
Mercy!

They took me for a mad man
Humanity would never tolerate it…
I never forgot that night
Mercy!

They took me for a mad man
My life had turned into one long night
Night had fallen
Mercy!
