Side
of Life and Death
People
on the right,
Jews
on the left.
Her
sister was caught into the wagon,
they
wanted her too.
She
fled between
the
Gestapo's widely spaced legs.
She
ran home.
-
Dad, daddy,
they
hid Krysia on the train.
Take
her.
He
redeemed his daughter.
It's
nothing that now
it
won't be enough for bread.
