Tapestries hanging on a wall
\nAlphabets and poems
\nEmbroidered by women when girls
\nHanging on\u00a0 walls of their homes
\nHanded down by mother to daughter
\nAs a families heirloom
\nThere’s one hanging here as I look
\nAt the walls of this room<\/p>\n
Out in the hall they are in Yiddish
\nAs gently I ask, story to seek
\nThe lady lets on not to understand
\nOr that German she\u00a0 does not speak.
\nWhat is the story of these people
\nWho managed to survive
\nMay God guide and bless them
\nAs He kept their forefathers alive.<\/p>\n
