suddenly, a wall
" For all children
who went home from school
and were never after seen again...
This buiding used to be
the Wilhelmina Catherina school.
During World War II, suddenly a wall
was built in the middle of the school.
Half of the pupils were banned
to the backside because they were Jewish.
Only a few children survived the massacre.
You stood up for us.
When they humiliated us in
the concentration camp I thought:
the frontside-children did believe
we belonged together. For you
that wall made no difference. "
