(Upon seeing the concentration camp at Majdanek)

Listen, Listen,

listen to the voices of the ashes

for they speak of redemption,

they speak of salvation.

Listen, Listen

listen to the voices of the ashes

for they speak of the conversion of

the meaning of conversion.

Listen, Listen

listen to the voices of the ashes

and learn anew about the meaning

and the place of crucifixion,

the crucifixion of the Jews.

Listen, Listen

listen to the voices of the ashes

for they tell us that those who were the

messengers of salvation are now

those who must receive salvation.

they must learn of redemption from

the voices of the ashes.

Listen, Listen

listen to the voices of the ashes.
