[hometext] => A poem in memory of all the people killed in concentration camps during WWII. The Nazis replaced the prisoners' names with numbers because calling someone by their name is a sign of respect but calling them by anything else is saying they're not human.
[bodytext] => It is easier to get rid of a number Than it is a man. A man has to be killed, But a number is just erased. So I guess that's why I'm a number And no longer a man. When my day comes, They won't be killing a man. They'll just be erasing a number.
