I had always thought the song was a brother singing about a crime done to his baby sister. It seemed to me that a psychopath had killed her, and that now all grown up he was going to hunt him down.
But I think the above interpretation is right, about the girl in the concentration camp.
It seemed to me that the song had so much feeling in it it must be very personal. But I just finished reading "the boy in the striped pajamas". book, and I see how this song can be both personal and about a larger crime.
