The Mitchell Trio's intro to the song:

In the early 1930's, the concentration camps of Germany began filling up with hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands of Hitler's political enemies. These were the men who resisted the Nazi tyranny until they had to be destroyed. But they always dreamed of freedom, if not for themselves, but been for their children.

From album Violets of Dawn, 1966
