I…

I’m tired, but I’m Jewish

I’ve got a family and children, but I’m Jewish

I’m a good citizen, but I’m Jewish

I’m a person that respects law, but I’m Jewish

I’m a mum, but I’m Jewish

I’m a dad, but I’m Jewish

I’m a child, but I’m Jewish

I’m a brilliant person, but I’m Jewish

Now I’m dead, but I’m happy that someone can remember me not as a deported but as a person with values and a heart.
