Majdanek and Citadel were not only places for torture, Where the stench of fiery furnaces poisoned the air. The “Stalags” brought in a huge profit For the disgusting German butchers. The murderers, shaking with their greed, Have stolen everything from the tormented prisoners – Rings, trinkets, golden teeth, earrings, and watches. The world has never seen such pillage! We will call the Fascist monsters to answer for their crimes. There is no mercy for the bandits.
