lyrics

Here you are 14-15 year old youngster. Miki was altogether 3 years older, and we are headed for a place that was on the other side of town. Our hiding place: the theater Tivoli.
We were in the attic for about 2 weeks. 12 people, 13 people. A woman took care of us by the name of Lebanovich. One day the woman came up to us and she brought a letter which said that we know there are Jews hiding in the building. If you will not deposit 50,000 Peni — a large sum of money in those days — then we will hand you over to the Gestapo
The young people decided they will not take a chance. Shloimi, Miki and I decided we are going to leave that evening and we will go by train to Budapest. But Shloimi said “no, I can't use a set of false papers, I look so Jewish, look at my Jewish nose, they will all see that I'm a Jew”. But, no, he didn’t want to stay there. So we went to the train station together. We were just about 1 hour away from Budapest, a place called Hotvan. The police entered, they asked for his papers and they told him "you will come off with us”. I remember his eyes. He was full of despair because he knew that’s his end. And it was his end.
