The lead singer of the band Rush, Geddy Lee, is the child of Polish Jewish refugees that moved to Canada after WWII. Both his parents were survivors of the concentration camps of Hitler, his father at Dachua concentration, his mother at Bergen-Belsen.
Their experiences of his parents drove the creation of the song "Red Sector A". The chorus deals directly with the experiences that his mother had when British soldiers liberated her camp. She had thought the outside world had blown up and there would be no place left to live. Her father and brother died at the camps, yet her mother barely survived. Take a listen.
Oh, and for anyone who doesn't know who Rush is, the hold the record for the most Gold or Platinum studio albums released consecutively in the U.S., at 16. In total, they have released 24 recording that went Gold status, 16 more that went Platinum and 3 at multi-platinum.
