Letras
On August the 4th, 1944,
a car pulled up at Prinsengracht.
Several figures emerged,
armed, and dressed in civilian clothes.
The eight residents of the Annexe
were taken to prison,
and from there transported to Westerbork,
and onwards to the concentration camps.
(information from contemporary reports)
The atmosphere is stifling,
outside you don’t hear a single bird.
A deathly silence hangs in the air.
It clings to me as if it were going to drag me
into the deepest regions of the underworld.
(October 29, 1943)
There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their sound is gone out
through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
(Psalm 19:3-4)
Their blood have they shed like water,
and there was none who could bury them.
(Psalm 79:3)
The young and the old lie on the ground;
the maids and young men are fallen.
(Lamentations 2:21)
