My name is Lisa Kalvelage
I was born in Nuremberg
And when the trials were held
There nineteen years ago
It seemed to me ridiculous
To hold a nation all to blame
For the horrors that the world did undergo
A short while later
When I applied were I a G I bride
An American consular official questioned me
He refused my exit permit
Said my answers did not show
I'd learned my lesson about responsibility
Thus suddenly I was forced
To start thinking on this theme
And when later I was permitted to emigrate
I must have been asked a hundred times
Where I was and what I did
In those years when Hitler ruled our state
I said I was a child or at most a teen-ager
But that only extended the questioning
They'd ask me
Where were my parents my father my mother
And to this I could answer not a thing
The seed planted
There at Nuremberg in 1947
Started to sprout and to grow
Gradually I understood
What that verdict meant to me
When there are crimes that
I can see and I can know
And now I also know
What it is to be charged with mass guilt
Once in a lifetime is enough for me
No I could not take it for a second time
And that is why I am here today
The events of May 25th
The day of our protest
Put a small balance weight
On the other side
Hopefully
Someday my contribution to peace
Will help just a bit to turn the tide
And perhaps I can tell my children six
And later on their own children
That at least in the future
They need not be silent
When they are asked
"Where was your mother when "
