B1A, the women's camp.
"Basically, somewhere in this world, there's
a place with lots of barracks, where they hold us. That contain
the Jewish people. And whether the weather is dry or wet we are
forced to stand for hours, in Zaehlappell, meaning "head count."
We work long hours and our duties are heavy. But work we must. And
the song gives us hope that, we will be strong and live up to do
our best to overcome this, so that the time will come when we will
return into the homes of our loved ones. Into our homes and into
the arms of our loved ones. This is our song and it will be until
we die. And we will never forget that we are Jews. What I love about
it is that it shows that we have no idea that we were in a death
camp. We thought that there would be a time, if we would just keep
up with our strength, when we will return into our homes, where
we came from and that our loved ones would be waiting for us there.
We will return into their arms. Little did we know it would take
another a few days before we learned that most of them are no longer
alive.That they had been gassed and cremated in Auschwitz- Birkenau."
