Mauthausen Memorial 2014

Mauthausen Memorial 2014

Jedes Jahr ausgerechnet am Muttertag findet in Mauthausen ein Memorial statt. Aus der ganzen Welt kommen Deligationen um derer zu gedenken, die dort "geblieben sind".
Einer der griechischen Poeten und Dichter Jakobos Kambanellis war seinerzeit auch dort und hat -nachdem er es überlebt hat (Statistik 1:9!)- sein Werk "Mauthausen" geschrieben, wozu Mikis Theordorakis seine Musik geschrieben hat.

Englische Übersetzung von Asma Asmaton

How beautiful is my love
With her care in her daily dress
And with the comb in her hair.
No-one knew that she's so beautiful .

You girls of Auschwitz,
You Dachau girls,
Have you seen my love, perchance?

We saw her on her long journey.
She no longer wore her dress
Nor her comb in her hair.

How beautiful is my love,
Pampered by her loving mother,
And her brother's kisses.
No-one knew that she's so beautiful.

You girls of Mathausen,
You girls of Belsen,
Have you seen my love, perchance?

We saw her standing in the frozen courtyard,
With a number on her white arm,
A yellow star over her heart.

How beautiful is my love,
Pampered by her loving mother,
And her brother's kisses.
No-one knew that she's so beautiful.
