You can see the mountains from Birkenau.
How odd is that?
That if you look up,
And look out,
You can see the mountains
From the barracks of death.
If you're standing outside
Of the barrack that housed women
Awaiting the gas chambers,
You can see the mountains.
There seems to be
Something fundamentally wrong
With looking past the atrocity
To see the beauty.
How can it be,
That you can see the mountains from Birkenau?
