We are planning a series of worldwide events leading up to the 75th anniversary of the Partisan Song next April.
This 4 minute interview with Phillip Maisel below highlights the importance of the Partisan Song, and the role of our youth in keeping alive the legacy of Hirsh Glik’s poem of hope!
Phillip, 95, was a friend of Hirsh Glik, and one of the first to hear this poem recited in the Vilna Gheto in 1943
I visited the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Melbourne: www.jhc.org.au
and Mount Scopus Memorial College: www.scopus.vic.edu.au
where I presented my Partisan Poem and Song Project to leading Jewish educationalists and oulines the plans leading up to Yom Hashoah.
