Sonderkommando
Auschwitz
Only following orders
Pushing corpses into the oven
Living now my only thought
Survival keeping my uniform clean
I only did what I was told
Loading bodies of the dead
Once bold soul now weak bought n sold
Auschwitz
Only following orders
Sonderkommandos were work units of Nazi death camp prisoners, composed almost entirely of Jews, who were forced, on threat of their own deaths, to aid with the disposal of gas chamber.
