Where Do the Children Go
by
The Hooters
This song is for the Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust. "But nobody hears the music, Only the echo of a hollow sound." (the vacuum created when Hitler erased German-Jewish culture) "Where do the children go, Between the bright night and darkest day?" (the fire and ash of the crematoriums ). "who's that deadly piper who leads them away?" (Hitler was an exceptionally compelling orators). "Together we make our way Passengers on a train." (the cattle cars that were used to transport Jews and "deplorables" to the Camps) "Promises in the rain." (Arbeit Macht Frei "Work will make you free") "We're leaving it all behind", (the security that German Jews felt when they believed they were valued members of German society) "While castles are falling down". (the destruction of the synagogues) "We're going where no one can find us". (no one comes back from the Camps) "And if there's a heaven, We'll find it somehow." (In spite of the evil and hate in the world, Jewish culture will survive)
