This song is from the perspective of a person who is surviving some Holocaust like event.
I find the lyrics:

particularly moving. His references to helping his mother stand up straight implies that despite all of the pain and torture they have been through, they have still retained their humanity and their pride. Now they are asking whether or not they are the only ones who have.
