You child with raised arms from the Warsaw Ghetto

You live forever in us like the child martyrs of Izieu, murdered by the barbarians,

You child with raised arms of the Warsaw Ghetto, you live in us, you carry forever murdered innocence

You child with raised arms

“I love you, repeats the wind to everything it brings to life. I love you and you live in me. »

You child with raised arms,

Your frightened, terrified, frightened eyes speak to us incessantly,

They open our hearts, awaken our minds to vigilance

For centuries and centuries.

Rene Char
