WELLINGTON – The Holocaust may seem like an unlikely theme for rock, heavy metal or hip-hop music. But about 300 high school students were captivated recently by the lyrics of Remedy, the rapper from Staten Island, singing Never Again, about the destruction of his family.
“Never again shall we march like sheep to the slaughter; Never again shall we sit and take orders
Stripped of our culture; Robbed of our name (never again);
Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames (never again);
Forced from our families, taken from our home;
Moved from our God then burned of our bones;
Never again, never again.”
