Auschwitz (song)

"Auschwitz" is a song composed by Francesco Guccini, and originally performed by Equipe 84. It was first released as the B-side of a cover of Sonny & Cher's "Bang Bang ", and later included in Equipe 84's album Io ho in mente te. Although the song was written by Guccini it was credited to Lunero and Maurizio Vandelli as the author at the time was not a member of the SIAE.

Inspiration and content
"Auschwitz" was the first Italian song about the Holocaust. and the autobiographical novel by Vincenzo Pappalettera Tu passerai per il camino where Pappalettera recounted his memoirs about his imprisonment in the Mauthausen concentration camp. The song includes several citations of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind". The lyrics are narrated by two voices: the protagonist, a child who in the Auschwitz concentration camp "died with another hundred, passed through a chimney and is now in the wind", and the author, who poses some rhetoric questions to which there is no answer. ==Track listing==
