Song to Remember

An outcry of despair and anxiety . . . “Brothers do something to defend yourselves against the danger that is lurking at the gates of the “Siedtelach” threatening with destruction of Jewish lives and homes.

Sleepless nights and tortured days, hopeless and fearful — Ijke an endless walk of shackeled slaves through desert sands . . . that is life in Ghetto.

The souls of innocent children were victims of brutal murder. Slaughtered in the ghettos . . . The world gives an eternal oath to take revenge for them.

Why are the skies so dark to-day, they were so bright yesterday? Don’t lose courage — the sun will shine again!

Nostalgia for Lutzk — a Jewish center in the heart of Poland. Where are the customs and traditions of bygone days of Jewishness? Nothing but emptiness! Nothing but a mass-grave with 18,U00 buried souls.

Jewish people take courage! So many of your enemies have perished Hitler is also near! Live! For redemption is at hand!

A dialog between the mind and the soul: the mind cannot overpower the soul.

Message of the Partisans to the people of the doomed ghetto: Don’r despair! We are marching, we are armed, we will fight — and you will live!

NO — is the answer of the Jewish people to blood and war. If a whole generation is strong enough to say a united “no” — the enemy will not dare to attack!

What shall I do with my sad days and long nights? There is no sense to life, no desire to go on in the dark times of the destruction of my people!

Prayer for Israel reborn. Hope for the young and refuge for the old. A fortress for the Jewish people, a death-knell for the concentration camps.

A hymn calling to the Jewish people to come and build in Israel. After death and destruction the Jewish people have survived once more . . . they have wings again and strength again — for Jewish life is etern.
