Current Event in Judaism
Art work that represents the religion
Song from religion: "Jerusalem"
Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory
Years gone by, about sixty
Burn in the oven in this century
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me
I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free
Erase the demons out of our memory
Change your name and your identity
Afraid of the truth and our dark history
Why is everybody always chasing we
Cut off the roots of your family tree
Don't you know that's not the way to be
[chorus]

What it means is that a lot of people, like the Nazis, are chasing the Jews and killing them because of their religion. It also says that in the Holocaust they were killed by being thrown alive in human sized ovens and also put in a room where they put a certain gas that would kill them.
