I am a German Jew, Living in World War II

I am a German Jew, Living in World War II

I don't know which to chose

both ways I will inevitably lose

My situation is catch twenty-two

and I don't know what to do

because I am a German Jew

living in World War two.

I have a good life,

three kids at home and a wife.

Do I dispose of my dignity

or defy my country?

My life is split in two

and I don't know what to do

because I am a German Jew

in the middle of the war of 1942.

The soldiers are coming

I can hear their combat-boots drumming

against the land.

They will ask me who I am,

whether I'm 'foe or friend.'

I am neither, I am both.

I know this is not the end,

this is only the beginning

the Nazi's will continue killing.

I will die for what is right,

there needn't be a fight

someday this war will end.

I know now, my religion is what I will defend.

Because I am a German Jew,

who is about to die in World War 2.

Sara Laubscher (2010)

What did you think? I'm sorry but I don't know all too much about the WW2 but I just thought it would be interesting if that had to happen. I am only 13 so please forgive me for any spelling mistakes or grammar. =D thanks!
