(* Based on the memory of a German lady, twelve years old, back then.)
I played with my best friend, Ursula
and wanted so much that she should stay
but Mutti said no and took her home
I could not understand
why people idolized Herr Hitler so much
but Mutti said, Don't talk about it,
but it is he who brought all this over us
You would not know
but the people said that Dresden
was one of the most beautiful cities in the world
When Herr Hitler started the war
the grown-ups just smiled and said,
Who would bomb such a beautiful place?
That evening grandfather went to see the circus
but at nine the sirens started screaming
- It scared my little brother so much
he couldn't move and had to be carried-
Then the soldiers said
no Jews were allowed to hide with us
At ten thirty the bombs began to fall
We were in the cellars
All the lights went out
The grown-ups lit candles
