Hitler's bewitching, the madness of the people, the
Germans marching in the new Third Reich capital Berlin, the spirited parade, the
Nazi salute, the forest with the right hand slanted,
remembering
all this in the ruins of Berlin, women, old people and children walking in vain
All the cities in Germany are devastated
Remember all this
Japan's nationwide frenzy quickly occupied the vast land
and then Tokyo's incendiary corpses after the fire bombs
The mushroom cloud of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Remember all these
young soldiers died in the snow, deserts, islands, seabed, mountains, mud, and
died in prisoners of war The camp
remembers all these
women, the old and the children died of bombing, massacres, and starvation,
regardless of nationality, where they live
, and the Jews in the gas chambers,
remembering all this
, remembering the alienation of
human beings by war, remembering the despicableness and glittering of human nature,
remembering the vengeance of vengeance
Remember the powerlessness of ordinary people and the helplessness
of ordinary people Remember the choices of ordinary people
Remember this history , this history
that should not be forgotten
