lyrics
Started on a summer’s day
Beechwood Forest came to be
Branded in our collective psyche
A madman’s legacy
No respecter of persons:
Old men and women
Young boys and girls
In a struggle for survival
On starvation rations
Waxing axiomatic:
“Labour makes freedom”
“To each his due”
As the yellow star diaspora
Was doomed to perish
In a reign of terrors
In a house of horrors
At Beechwood Forest
Life was cheap
Fools wring their anguished hands:
“How could this ever happen?”
Goons flail their heiling arms:
“Why did it take so long?”
Heard spewing on the radio:
Beechwood and its ilk were a hoax
Elaborate conspiracy
Concocted by world Jewry
But that unnatural selection
Of staggering tattooed skeletons
Weren’t no figment of imagination.
"... To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all ..."
Elie Wiesel, Buchenwald survivor
Beechwood Forest came to be

“To each his due”
