This is the Way Zamość Was Cut Down….

[Page 523]

…Ani Hagever, I am the man,
Who looked on
Who saw –
How my children,
My women,
My young and old people
Were thrown into wagons,
Flung in there like rocks,
Like wood chips,
And beat them without mercy and spoke to them obscenely.

I looked out through the window pane, saw the beaters –
I contemplated the beaters and contemplated those who were being beaten –
I wrung my hands… a disgrace and a farce,
The Jews, oh, with the Jews – my Jews have been murdered!
Woe is me, there is no one left anymore…
There was a people, they were, but are no longer…
There was a people,
And they existed, and now…
No more!
(From Yitzhak Katzenellenson's: ‘The Song of the Murdered Jewish People’)
