holy mountain - suicide lyrics

the psychic pain of the millions slain
drew no comp-ssion from the allied states
the psychic pain as europe became
one monstrous grave
under n-z- reign
“i know how little human life is worth, especially today”
a wife and child lost in warsaw
a life immersed in the doc-ments of atrocity
the spectre of endless suffering
the last desperate plea for mercy and meaning
“i cannot be silent and i cannot live
while the remnants of the jewish people of poland… are perishing”
“by my death i wish to express my strongest protest
against the inactivity with which the world is looking on
and permitting the extermination of jewish people.
but as i was unable to do anything during my life,
perhaps by my death i shall contribute to destroying the indifference
of those who are able and should act.”-

[-all quotations taken from a letter written by szmul zygelbojm
before committing suicide in 1943.
it was addressed to the premier of the polish government-in-exile.
translated from polish.]
