The story of Magda Hertzberger, a Romanian Jew, who survived the Holocaust. She was sent to three death camps and was left for dead in a pile of corpses. A British soldier found her barely alive. She became a poet and over 300 of her poems were published. She also wrote thirteen books about her experiences.
"God had a purpose to save me to tell my story." Magda Hertzberger
The road to Auschwitz
On the tracks of pain
A pathway to death
In Nazi domain
On board the moving train
There sat a nervous teen
Against her troubled father
Her worried self did lean
On this dark journey
Magda felt her fears
She held her anxious father
She observed his falling tears
Brought to her prison
Forced to dig graves
Collected all the corpses
Hopelessness in waves
Whoever could not march
They grabbed and they shot
Walking skeletons
Abandoned there to rot
At Bergen Belsen
A dreadful death camp
A heavy darkness
With extinguished lamps
Magda was exhausted
She thought she would die
In a pile of corpses
Motionless she did lie
She had no more strength
She lay frail and weak
Her body could not move
Her mouth could not speak
A British soldier came
He found her still alive
And because of this man
Amazingly she survived
Magda made it through
Even in her darkest hour
And out of the darkness
Blossomed forth a flower
Experienced atrocities
Truly like no other
But made it through it all
Reunited with her mother
She became a poet
She wrote many books too
She overcame the evil
She expressed her view
God had a divine purpose
She endured the war
And with her words today
We simply cannot ignore
