Rajko Djurić: I am Yad Vashem

I am Yad Vashem
Blood and dust of my nails
On my palms I bring.

Yad Vashem
I ate fire
I drank smoke
In Auschwitz I died.

I am Yad Vashem
I slept on bones
I lost my eyes
In Treblinka died.

I am Yad Vashem
I have covered myself with blood
I have remained without skin
In Buchenwald I have died

I am Yad Vashem
With tears I dug my hole
with Screams I made a cross
In Dachau I have died

I am Yad Vashem
Everything I had
I have lost
In Bergen-Belsen I have died

I am Yad Vashem
Without a name
Without a word
I have remained
In Ravensbrück I have died

I am Yad Vashem
Where I was
I do not know
I know only that I have died

I am Yad Vashem
Sky fell on the earth
In darkness they have imprisoned me
In Lublin I have died

I am Yad Vashem
My guts they have shattered
Within me the child they have cut out
In Jasenovaz I have died

I am Yad Vashem
I was here, I was there
On black, bloody wheels
Dust and smoke I became

I am Yad Vashem
I had a Romani heart
As a Rom I have been murdered

I am Yad Vashem
Blood and dust of my nails
On my palms I bring.

I am Yad Vashem
As long as the earth turns
The smoke will not suffocate it

I am Yad Vashem
Until the sun walks
Yad Vashem will live

I am Yad Vashem
As long as god is god
Auschwitz will not be forgotten

I am Yad Vashem!
