I Found My Grandparents
I found my grandparents
today
in Auschwitz.
I found my Grandmother Hania and my
Grandfather Samuel
I found my Aunts Blimka and Rena
And even my Uncle Moniek.
I found them all today,
in Auschwitz.
I didn't have grandparents,
I didn't have aunts.
"They're all dead."
"They all died,
in the Holocaust."
I found my Aunt Helen and
I found my Aunt Zoshka.
I found my Great Aunts Blimka and Esther
and their husbands Yehoshua and Shmuel.
And cousins, I found so many cousins on both
sides.
I found them all today.
Today I became a granddaughter
and a niece and a cousin.
I became a grand-niece and a
great-granddaughter.
Today I found my relatives
and my relatives now have me.
I found my grandparents
today
in Auschwitz.
And I also found me.
I found my grandparents
today
in Auschwitz.
I found my Grandmother Hania and my
Grandfather Samuel
I found my Aunts Blimka and Rena
And even my Uncle Moniek.
I found them all today,
