It was beautiful
It was happy
Everyone knew each others name

but then the rumors started
rumors of death
death of Jews
at concentration camps in a death town called auschwitz
the suffering of millions of Jews 

They made me leave my beautiful town
My friends betrayed me
They became Nazi's
"Heil Hitler" they said

They took us to the camps
they took my mother away from me
to the gas
the death gas killing millions
that was the last time
the last time I saw her

i felt so alone
so scared
Where is my family?
the Nazi's tore my family apart
memories come flooding back like a river
of the gas
the smell
the cold
what would happen next?

Parents/Older people in the families were being taken to the gas. The gas that killed millions of Jews.  Children didn’t know that the last time they saw their parents would be the last time. In the last stanza,  I describe how life was inthe camps. In these camps, many people remember the cold, empty lonely feeling.  When they did know know where their families were or what happened to them.  People were not being properly fed or bathed.  They were not staying in the appropriate shelter.  They were suffering because of what they believed in.  Everytime they were taken somewhere they didn’t know what was going to happen next.  Were they going to be taken to the gas, to harsh work conditions, no one knew. So many people died during the Holocaust and it is a tragic event that will never be forgotten
