1.

 

Jaakov ran,

while somewhere behind him

a grenade exploded

and tearing off someone's leg

his face was covered with black dust

like his little hands,

the tightly clasped a red wood car

he fell down,

he scraped his knee,

and as he went on,

blood ran down his knee

he touched his head

and adjusted his cap

something exploded somewhere again

but it sounded farther away

but the shots sounded close.

the sky was clear

and the sun was burning

on his little face,

but the beauty of the sky

did not change that was war

and he just had to watch how

the soldiers with the ugly

cross on the uniforms

his parents and his

siblings shot

2. Memory of the Men with the Scar

the man with the scar on his face

dad pushed forward against the wall,

mama was crying and leonore,

me, maria, elsa and joseph

pressed to themselves

dad still talked but the man

pushed him around

and pushed him around

then the one with the scar
