They Say

They say it did not happen That we did not really see The horror's and the sadness That the Holocaust would be They say it's just not true That there was never any plan To kill every boy and girl, woman and Jewish man They say they were simply, casualties of a violent war But the proof is there for us to see In what they had in store There are pictures of the death camps Of the survivors thin and pale Of the ovens that were fired And the smell of death so stale In the mass graves that littered the land In the experiments that they documented so freely In the letters from loved ones, long gone In the asset's seized And to the victor went the spoils As the Jewish people died, staved and toiled In the concentration camps With names we should always keep in mind Auschwitz Belzec Bergen-Belsen Buchanwald Chelmno Dachau Flossenburg Majdanek Mauthausen and Gusen Ravesbruk Sachsenhausen Sobibor and Treblinka Like letters of the alphabet Should be stored in memory for all time Yes, they try to say it was not real That it was all a lie That six million Jewish people did not really die But the simple truth lies waiting for the world to find So remember our history Pass it down your family line Our children now so far removed from these tragic times Need to have reminders To ensure that they don't develop blinders To the evil that filled the land And of the dictator Hitler with all his mass destruction plans Yes, it did happen No matter what they do or say History can never be erased As long as we remember it that way So for all the lives and families that the Holocaust destroyed We must continue to remember the suffering and the pain So we can be prepared should such evil call on us again Lest we forget And others will die As evil is the only thing that could tell such a lie!
