My parents in the concentration camp
met for the first time
My father disguised himself as a
woman and sneaked into the barracks
of the young bride
And there, secretly, their wedding was held
When they lay on her bunk
Suddenly the warning was heard
that the Nazis arrived by surprise
To check if men entered unnoticed
Through the entrance gate.
My mother’s friends
Who they loved
Lay over him
Covering him
And that’s how they protected him
Even though they risked their lives
And the Nazis did not see him
It’s hard for me to imagine the
fear That came over him
When he was saved from the Germans
And I think
That it was only with the help of God!
