This is my AP US History Final Project: I had to make my own music video with a song of my choice and I chose the Holocaust as my subject. The song was When I'm Gone by Eminem. I'm very passionate about this subject and hopefully you will see it as something we should all remember and give respect to.

When I'm Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you seen your people die, as they pass you by?
Not just one, but everyone you know?
When they know that youre next
And you know that its over
And you try to fight Germans who would kill all Jews
But what happens when they try to shoot you, do you run?
But no matter where I turn, they just point and shoot me!
What happens when you become numb to all the pain?
After seeing newborn babies being thrown in flames
And my mother and father being gassed to death
I don't know how to cry anymore, I should have seen the signs
Hitler becomes Chancellor, and dictates with hate
Blaming us for being Jews and deporting us to death camps
Germany invades Poland and enters World War Two
But that wont stop him, no, here comes Auswitch
That's Hitler, yeah, Hitler's crazy
Hitler killed my soul, but tonight Im rising up


[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, dont close your hearts
Remember every word you hear from my past
And dont let another holocaust
Be written in the books, So open your hearts
And smile back
And when I'm gone, dont close your hearts
Remember every word you hear from my past
And dont let another holocaust
Be written in the books, So open your hearts and
Just smile back...


[Verse 2]
Hoping this is just a dream, I'm holding the tears inside
I keep screaming inside, why the torture, why the hate
Jewish Ghettos keep rising all over Europe
But keep this in mind, the bad people always fall in the end
Starting off with Germans surrendering at Stalingrad
Now they feel the pressure of not being able to make it
"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Hitler - stop it!"
I look up in fear, as Im being pulled away
not knowing if Ill be sliced apart or thrown in acid
I look up, it's just me standing in terror
Oh thank you, thank you, Im off to take a shower
They're saying "You've got one last shower" - but it's tonight
And then I realized Im being gassed to death, but it's too late
And just as I go to walk into the corner of the room
It's turns pitch black, and Im gone, with my lungs exploded
And I'm thinking...

[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, dont close your hearts
Remember every word you hear from my past
And dont let another holocaust
Be written in the books, So open your hearts
And smile back
And when I'm gone, dont close your hearts
Remember every word you hear from my past
And dont let another holocaust
Be written in the books, So open your hearts and
Just smile back...

[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people, all screaming for help
Roosevelt listens and makes the War Refugee Board
I shed a tear and thank him for helping
They're screaming so loud, oh no he cant save them all
I glance down, I don't believe it
"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her stomach is bleeding,"
But he cant hear me, his soul is slowly dying
"I followed you Daddy, you told me we would be safe
"You lied to me Dad, and now you made Mommy cry
"I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
"That's all I wanted, I just wanted to give you this coin
"I get it Daddy - fine, me and Mommy are going"
So now I hear the cries at the Battle of the Bulge
"Go U.S. troops and show me that you are better than the Germans"
Theyre fighting for us, they keep... fighting for us
It's no wonder Hitler committed suicide under pride
Yeah, I bet he went to hell. You can imagine the pain
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, the Germans surrendered
I turn around, and find bodies decaying
I look again and scream "DADDY" and I cry
The sky darkens, the survivors die inside
millions of Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, DEAD
I just wanted to wake up from the nightmare
but the reality was I was killed at the age of five
I walked right up to a German and he killed me
What really breaks me apart is that he did it
only because I was a Jew.. (less info)
