Victory Bell 05:41
The morning comes alive with the sound of bells, chiming for victory to justify the sacrifice of thirteen million lives The morning comes alive with the sound of guns & flashes in the sky but this time it's only in my mind in a gaurded part of my brain that still resides in a shell-holed field of Picardie with the poor lost souls we left behind forever fighting a war that will not let me go The morning comes alive but I can't remember names of friends who have died in a foreign land fighting for a cause they can barely understand ordered to march into the jaws of hell Sometimes I cry & remember friends I've known remember friends who've died

The doors opened, it was after mignight, I don't know, I didn't have a watch, & - shouting. The first shock you experience is that yelling in German, terrible cries, "Raus, schnell!" The dogs bark & the Germans, with the butts of thier rifles, keep pushing & hitting the people getting off the train. Then the women are separated from the men, women in one group, men in another. Mother, who is with my two sisters, tries to get out of the women's line & come to me, her son, & say something to me. And then I see an SS man, with the butt of his rifle, hit her on the back to make her go back in line, and I remain with my two brothers & with father. Then they conduct another selection. It all happens quickly, as if on a conveyor belt. It's something that, one can't even start imagining. That's what happened that night, an unforgettable night. It's the night on which I affectively lose my whole family.
