70 years - and we hear the mob shouting Juden ins Gas again. Yehuda Poliker, son of only a handful of survivors from Saloniki, wrote this song to the words of Władysław Szlengel, the Ghetto Poet, who was killed in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943. A Small Station Called Treblinka On the line between Tluszcz and Warsaw From the railway station Warsaw - East You get out of the station and travel straight… The journey lasts sometimes 5 hours and 45 minutes more and sometimes the same journey lasts a whole life until your death … And the station is very small three fir trees grow there and a regular signboard saying here is the small station of Treblinka... here is the small station of Treblinka... And not even a cashier gone is the cargo man and for a million zloty you will not get a return ticket And nobody waits for you in the station and nobody waves a handkerchief towards you only silence hung there in the air to welcome you in the blind wilderness. And silent are the three fir trees and silent is the black board because here is the small station of Treblinka... here is the small station of Treblinka... And only a commercial board stands still: Cook only by gas Translated from Polish to Hebrew by Halina Birenbaum and from Hebrew to English by Ada Holtzman. https://youtube/watch…
