The Partisans’ Song in Noongar Aboriginal Language

The Power Of Words

The background and context

The โ€˜Partisansโ€™ Songโ€™ โ€“ Zog Nit Kein Molโ€“written by Hirsch Glik, 22,  in the Vilna Ghetto in 1943   is one of the most powerful songs of resistance and defiance ever written.

While Hitler boasted that his Reich would endure for a thousand years, it is the Jewish people who resisted the forces of hatred and have endured, not the murderous Third Reich,  which lasted twelve years.

Today, 75 years on, long after the demise of Hitlerโ€™s murderous regime, the partisansโ€™ song is now sung worldwide to mark the Jewish spirit of resistance.

(Michael Cohen, Melbourne)

KEY WORDS FROM THE POEM

โ€œZog nit keyn mol, az du geyst dem letstn vegโ€ฆโ€ฆ. Never say that you have reached the end of the roadโ€ฆโ€ฆ

Mir zaynen do!WE ARE HERE!

โ€œThis says that although it looks like the last moments of the life of the Jewish people, it is not, and where the blood was shed, will begin a new, a heroic and a wonderful Jewish life!โ€

(Quote: Cantor H Fox, LA)

The Partisansโ€™ Song has been translated into 24 languages:
 

The Holocaust Survivorsโ€™ Anthem โ€“ #WeRemember

ORT PROJECT VIDEOS 2018 โ€“ THE HOLOCAUST SURVIVORSโ€™ ANTHEM
In the lead up to the UN Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27 January, here is  a series of recordings of The Partisan Song, Zog Nit Keynmol, sung and recited by ORT schools

Maryusya Zarembo, an 8th grade student at ORT de Gunzburg School #550, is in awe of Hirsh Glickโ€™s defiantly optimistic lyrics to Zog Nit Keynmol, the anthem of the Jewish partisans.

โ€œThis is the first time Iโ€™ve read or heard the poetry of someone from that time. Itโ€™s hard for me to imagine how he could have found the time or energy to be creative in those circumstances, but he did. And his verses are very powerful and life-affirming,โ€ Maryusya said.

World ORT supports an initiative by Eli Rabinowitz to promote Zog nit Keynmol to new generations. Learning the lyrics, Maryusya said, had made her think about the Holocaust and its lessons for humanity.

โ€œWe have to learn that a person must not be humiliated or destroyed because of their ethnicity, faith or politics,โ€ she said. โ€œWe canโ€™t expect everyone to be a saint but the more we protect each other, the more tolerant we are, the stronger humanity will become. The alternative is extinction.โ€
