Thematic Mix Tape Song #5

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day

This song can refer to the Jews just waiting to get out of Auschwitz.  Not many Jews made it out alive.  There were definitely more Jews dead than alive.  From 1941 to 1945, six million Jews were killed waiting to get out.  Sadly, "September" never ended for them.  Which means that families had so many losses during that time.  This song is about the singer's dad dying when he was still a young kid, so this subject really hits home.
