We knew that we had only one choice to escape
We knew it s not gonna be easy in the forest
And we heard horror stories about some of the partisans in the forest
But at least, in the forest, we had a chance
To live - or to die
while in the ghetto, there was no chance
there was only death and death and death
Most of the partisans we heard about were outlaws
They could kill a Jew without a blink of an eye"
