This prayer was given to us by Balilla Bolognesi, former Italian forced labourer, during the 2006 commemoration.

For all the people on earth,
that they may recognize each other as brothers,
with the guarantee for freedom, for justice
Und the desire for peace,
we pray to you, God.
That you, man or woman, older or child,
Worker or peasant, employee or student,
No matter who you are,
No matter what political or religious view you have,
When you are asked, what is the most important thing
For mankind,
Then answer : "Everlasting peace!"
