  • They lay pink on the cinders...
  • I still want my mama...
  • Such pretty German toys...
  • A handful of salt...all that was left of our house...
  • And I kissed all the portraits in my schoolbook...
  • I gathered them with my hands...they were very white...
  • I want to live! I want to live!...
  • Through a buttonhole...
  • All I heard was mama's cry...
  • We played, and the soldiers wept...
  • In the cemetery the dead lay above ground...as if they'd been killed again...
  • I realized - this was my father...my knees trembled...

  • ...an extra half-spoon of sugar
  • Dear house, don't burn! Dear house, don't burn!...
  • She came in a white smock, like mama...
  • Auntie, take me on your knees...
  • ...and began to rock her like a doll
  • They had already bought me a primer...
  • ...neither suitors nor soldiers...
  • If only one son could be left...

  • Our mama didn't smile...
  • I couldn't get used to my name...
  • His army shirt was wet...
  • As if she had saved his own daughter...
  • They carried me to the unit in their arms..I was all one bruise from head to foot....
  • And why am I so small?...
  • They were drawn by the human scent...
  • Why did they shoot her in the face? My mama was so beautiful...
  • You asked me to finish you off...
  • And I didn't even have a scarf on...
  • No one to play outside with...
  • I'll open the window at night...and give the pages to the wind...
  • Dig here...
  • Grandpa was buried under the window...
  • ...And they tamped it down with the shovels, so it looked pretty
  • I'll buy myself a dress with a little bow...
  • How did he die, if there was no shooting today?...
  • Because we're girls, and he's a boy...
  • You're no brothers of mine, if you play with German boys...
  • We even forgot that word...
  • You should go to the front, but you fall in love with my mama...

  • In the direction of the sunrise...
  • A white shirt shines far off in the dark...
  • On the clean floor that I had just washed...
  • Did God watch this? And what did He think?...
  • The wide world is wondrous...
  • They brought long, thin candy...it looked like pencils...
  • The little trunk was just his size...
  • I was afraid of that dream...
  • I wanted to be mama's only child...so she could pamper me...
  • But, like rubber balls, they didn't sink...
  • I remember the blue, blue sky...and our planes in that sky...
  • Like ripe pumpkins...
