                       This page was made in memory of Susie. Susie was a little girl killed in the Holocaust. You may be wondering why I would make a page about someone in particular and I'll tell you why. I was deeply saddened by her death because she was so young. I can't believe that someone could shoot her just because of her nationality. I was very upset about the Holocaust but I feel that everyone should know what happened to them, reguardless of their age. Little Susie was also in Schindler's List, which is a black-and-white film, and she is the only person who has color on. She's wearing a red jacket and she's walking up and down the street while other Jews are being escorted to concentration camps. They find Susie later on but it is too late......she has been shot in the head by a Nazi soldier. And all because of one fact. She was Jewish. Michael Jackson has a song called 'Little Susie' and if you have not heard it, I urge you to listen to it. It is a very emotional song and if you have no way of listening to it, why don't you watch Schindler's List? I do warn you though, it is VERY graphic and IS NOT a good movie to show young kids. Below I have the lyrics to MJ's song 'Little Susie'. I have not found a MIDI yet but I'll keep looking.

            Little Susie

            Somebody killed little Susie
            The girl with the tune
            Who sings in the daytime at noon
            She was there screaming
            Beating her voice in her doom
            But nobody came to her soon...

            A fall down the stairs
            Her dress torn
            Oh the blood in her hair...
            A mystery so sullen in air
            She lie there so tenderly
            Fashioned so slenderly
            Lift her with care,
            Oh the blood in her hair...

            Everyone came to see
            The girl that now is dead
            So blind stare the eyes in her head...
            And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
            This girl lived in vain
            Her face bear such agony, such strain...
            But only the man from next door
            Knew Little Susie and how he cried
            As he reached down
            To close Susie's eyes...
            She lie there so tenderly
            Fashioned so slenderly
            Lift her with care
            Oh the blood in hair...

            It was all for God's sake
            For her singing the tune
            For someone to feel her despair
            To be damned to know hoping is dead and you're doomed
            Then to scream out
            And nobody's there...

            She knew no one cared...

            Father left home, poor mother died
            Leaving Susie alone
            Grandfather's soul too had flown...
            No one to care
            Just to love her
            How much can one bear
            Rejecting the needs in her prayers...

            Neglection can kill
            Like a knife in your soul
            Oh it will
            But Susie fought so hard to live...
            She lie there so tenderly
            Fashioned so slenderly
            Lift her with care
            So young and so fair
