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.
