Berlin -38 (Next Year In Jerusalem)

(Wish we never had to sing this song

But we have to, 'cause we must never forget)

I was twenty-five in berlin '38

I had just bought a little store

And the war was close

Then I met her, rebekah

With her wonderful smile

And I was in love, and she was in love

The future was ours

We married soon, and joseph and sarah came

And we loved them so, our dream came true

Clouds gathered dark, I couldn't understand it

I simply didn't see it, I should have

But I didn't

Under the star, my heart beats there

It was just because of the star

Next year in jerusalem

Next year in jerusalem

And late one night, I woke up from the

Noise in the street

People were shouting

People were running in the stairs

They knocked on the door

And then they came rushing in

With guns and no compassion

They said, you have to come

One suitcase and that's all

You must go now

We ran down the stairs

Joseph wasn't fast enough

They kicked him and he fell

And he was only three

I picked him up, and took him in my arms

They took us to the train

They packed us like cattle

Rebekah squeezed my hand she said:

We must stay together

No matter what happens

How can I describe

Cause when we arrived, they took

Rebekah and the children aside

And we all cried

She looked at me

I'll never forget her eyes

She said, I'll take care of the children

And then they were gone, gone

Next year in jerusalem

Next year in jerusalem

We must not forget, we can never forget

Because of the star

We must not forget

It did really happen
