Jansen

Jansen
Jansen and co,, my mother worked for him as a maid
in our little town he had the finest shop, with gold letter
name above the windows, he sold menswear of the highest
quality and had economic interest in other things too.
In our little town he was a man you took your cap of for even that
you knew he didn´t know you.
Mother adored the family; she worked for them two years and spent
most of the time reading, the Jansen´s had a big library
and mother, a woman from a foster home, got an education.
Then war came to our town and people who had enjoyed their
hospitality turned out to be informer.
The family was arrested for being Jansen sent to a death camp
somewhere on the continent. The name of the shop “Jansen´s
is still there in big bold golden lettering.
