Las! grand peuple tourmenté et la loi sainte en totale ruine Quand d'or, d'argent Trouve nouvelle mine.

Alas! the tormented people. is the jewish people. In the course of centuries, the jews had to take refuge in many parts of the world. More than any other people, they have suffered the atrocities of World War II, when more than 6 millions people were eliminated in the gas chambers of Dachau, Buchenwald, Treblinka, Sachsenhausen, Ravensbrueck and many others. the holy law. Not the law of the church but the divine law, this spiritual law that teaches us to love one another, the law that was held up in ridicule during World War II and so many other wars that were and still are fought all over the planet. In total ruin. Thus the holy law in total ruin means that the responsibility of the atrocities of World War II rests on humanity and not on the german people alone. Most European countries, and even the Vatican, were aware of what went on in the occupied countries and in the gas chambers, but they pretended to ignore it, concerned that they were about their own tranquility and security. when of gold and money a new mine is found. Even though both can be found at the same place, one will usually work a gold mine or a silver mine, not both. Thus, this sentence must have another meaning. Going back to World War II, everyone knows that the Jews were eliminated to purify, so it seems, the aryan race. What many people do not know is that this extermination was very profitable to the german treasury: under the pretext of resettlement, the Jews were asked to gather all that they owned. Then they were transported in one of the concentration camps where they were asked to undress and remove all the jewelries, gold and silver, they were wearing before taking a shower. Fatal shower that ended in the death of all those who entered the gas chambers. Then the nazis picked up all that jewelry, classified it and sent it to the german treasury or some bank in Switzerland or other countries that did not care where it came from. A real gold and silver mine!

Interprétation

Alas! When you will see the jewish people oppressed,
And the divine law held up in ridicule,
Christianity will live under other laws
When the nazis will steal the gold and silver of the Jews.

History

The extermination camps built all over Germany and other countries have been the site of nightmarish scenes of cruelty that were later on related by the perpetrators at the Nuremberg trial:
The final solution of the Jewish question meant the complete extermination of all Jews in Europe.
And the nightmare begins:

(P.1230) A great deal was taken out, not only in goods and services but in banknotes and gold. Whenever Hitler occupied a country, his financial agents seized the gold and foreign holdings of its national banks. Staggering occupational costs were immediately assessed. By the end of February 1944, Count Schwerin von Krosigk, the nazi Minister of Finance, put the total take for from such payments at some $12,000,000,000....

The resettlement... ...Here nazi degradation sank to a level seldom experienced by man in all his time on earth. Millions of decent, innocent men and women were driven into forced labor, millions more tortured and tormented in the concentration camps and millions more still, of whom there were four and a half millions Jews alone, were massacred in cold blood or deliberately starved to death and their remains, --in order to remove the traces-- burned...

(P.1250) ...The Einsatz unit would enter a village or town and order the prominent Jewish citizens to call together all Jews for the purpose of "resettlement." (They were told they were resettled elsewhere.) They were requested to hand over their valuables and, shortly before execution, to surrender their outer clothing. They were transported to the place of executions, usually an antitank ditch, in trucks, --always as many as could be executed immediately. In this way, it was attempted to keep the span of time from the moment in which the victims knew what was about to happen to them until the time of their actual execution as short as possible... A manager and engineer from a construction firm, Herman Graebe, relates the horrors he saw... (P.1253) ...I saw about thirty naked people lying near the pit. Some of them were still alive...Later the Jews still alive were ordered to throw the corpses into the pit. Then they themselves had to lie down in this to be shot in the neck...I swear before God, this is the absolute truth. (The rise and fall of the Third Reich - William L. Shirer)

The bottomless pit of gold and silver...
(P.1267)...The bodies were burned, but the gold fillings in the teeth remained and these were retrieved from the ashes if they had not already been yanked out by special squads working over the clammy piles of corpses. The gold was melted down and shipped along with other valuables snatched from the condemned Jews to the Reichsbank, where under a secret agreement between Himler and the bank's president, Dr. Walter Funk, it was deposited to the credit of the S.S. in an account given the cover name of Max Heiliger. This price booty from the extermination camps included, besides gold from dentures, gold watches, earings, bracelets, rings, necklaces and even spectacles frames - for the Jews had been encouraged to bring all their valuables with them for the promised 'resettlement'. There were also great stocks of jewelry, especially diamonds and much silverware. And there were great wads of banknotes...
