No, this is not an Opera performance. It is a reaction of one of thousands of children, after their mothers were taken away from them and forced to work in coalmines in Russia. In this case, the mother was 23, years old and the child three years old. In January of 1945, the streets were filled with Donauschwäbischen tears. The cries of children and mothers were heard all through Europe...".MAMA-Mama, don't leave me, Mama, where are you going? Mama, ...Mama..." "Sei brav mei Kind, sei brav. Ich han dich gere mei Kind." (Be good my child, be good, I love you, my child.) |
