Response To Remedy's Song Never Again
The song “Never Again” by Remedy talks about the holocaust during world war two. The song talks about the cruel and terrifying trials the jews went through, and questions the nazis ways of imprisonment.
The song talks about the Holocaust in many ways. First, in the intro to the song Remedy says “Reuven Ben Menachum.” This is Remedy’s Hebrew name and he is identifying himself as a Jew. Secondly, during the first verse, he says “moving targets who walk with the star in their sleeve forever marked with a number, tattooed on your body.” This tells the audience that those who were the moving targets were Jews carrying a yellow star of David. Also, Jews in concentration camps had to have tattooed numbers on their body for roll call in the camps.
