Gas chamber of childhood
Julia E. Wahl
Little Adolf, he doesn't understand
His father's persecutions, his grievous acts.
Hitting him with a heavy belt, his father would say, "You have to be a man."
"Father, stop, please stop...”, the little voice begging.
There's no hope in the boy's eyes. Exterior silence, the soul is broken.
Adolf is bleeding, his father is taking the belt away.
He says, "Go eat your supper."
Any reason is good, all reasons are. Hiding in the corner, hoping not to be found.
The maltreation has no end. It will never stop.
30 years and 10 million skeletons later,
He still wakes up at night screaming - "Father, please, stop hitting me".
In the morning he commands to destroy another village,
"Kill the children," he stresses.
