6 million Jews trapped into a hideous dance swept into chimneys made into smoke oh bring back these vapors give them bodies send them to Israel judge them for their new humanity For we knowing them only by hearsay cant be judges for the greed we hold has not been burnt out of our blood.
Irwin R. Shaw - February 1985
6 million Jews
trapped into
a hideous dance
swept into chimneys
made into smoke
oh bring back
these vapors
give them bodies
send them to Israel
judge them for
their new humanity
For we knowing them
only by hearsay
cant be judges
for the greed
we hold
has not been
burnt out of our blood.
