Nobody Died in Auschwitz

Nobody Died in Auschwitz

Don't let them fool you. 
Don't believe the easy lies.

Nobody "died" in Auschwitz
Nor in any of their 10,000 Murder Factories.
No - that's too easy to say.

     Starvation = Murder
     Disease = Murder
     Abuse = Murder
     Medical "Experiments" = Murder
     Exposure = Murder

They were sent there to die,
But all were helped along to it.

This is what happens
When ordinary people
Turn ordinary people
Into smoke

After those ordinary people
Embrace extraordinary evil
And forget those other ordinary people
Are just like them.

So -
Nobody "died" in Auschwitz
Morality died instead.
