The Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem – School #4 Novogrudok Belarus

For the UN Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27 January 2018, a series of recordings of The Partisan Song, Zog Nit Keynmol, sung and recited by ORT and other schools will remind us of the importance of remembering and commemorating The Holocaust.

Here is a new video of students of  School #4, Novogrudok, Belarus, reciting The Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem in Belarusian.

BELARUSIAN

Ты не кажы, што гэта дзень апошні твой.

Хоць хмары шэрыя вісяць над галавой.

Яшчэ ён прыйдзе, наш даўно чаканы час,

І кожны крок – зарок, што ўжо ня знішчыць нас!

Ад краю пальмаў да заснежаных мясцін

Нясем свой боль і сваё гора як адзін.

І дзе ўпадзе крыві хоць кропля з нашых цел,

Узыдзе наша моц і мужнасць узрасце.

Устане сонца й пазалоціць новы дзень.

І знікне ноч, і з ёю вораг прападзе.

Але пакуль трывожна ранішняй парой,

Хай пойдзе песня з хаты ў хату, як пароль.

Яе пісалі не чарнілам, а крывёй.

Гэта не песенька пра птушку над зямлёй.

Калі валіліся муры, забыўшы страх,

Яе спяваў народ са зброяй у руках.

ORT students recite Zog Nit Keynmol for Holocaust Remembrance Day

UN Holocaust Remembrance Day  – 27 January 2018

ORT students recite Zog Nit Keynmol for Holocaust Remembrance Day
New Compilation Video

Source Youtube:  https://youtu.be/FoN-28ZpJBw

Words can make a difference – both for good and evil, as Britain’s Holocaust Memorial Day Trust points out. ORT students have been using the defiantly optimistic words of Vilna poet Hirsh Glik to inspire themselves and others as part of our ongoing campaign to bring Zog nit Keynmol to new generations. This video shows just a few highlights of their stunning recitals of Glik’s lyrics to the song, which is renowned as the anthem of the Jewish partisans.

The Zog nit Keynmol campaign is the initiative of Eli Rabinowitz. If you would like to find out more please visit his blog: http://elirab.me/zog-nit-keynmol/.

Here are Glik’s lyrics, as translated by Aaron Kremer:

Never say that there is only death for you,
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue,
Because the hour we have hungered for near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble — we are here!

From land of palm tree to the far-off land of snow,
We shall be coming with our torment and our woe;
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth,
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth.

We’ll have the morning sun to set our day aglow,
And all our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe;
And if the time is long before the sun appears,
Then let this song go like a signal through the years.

This song was written with blood and not with lead;
It’s not a song that summer birds sing overhead;
It was a people among toppling barricades,
That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades.

Never say that there is only death for you,
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue,
Because the hour we have hungered for is near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble — we are here!

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

“This is the first time I’ve read or heard the poetry of someone from that time. It’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,” 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.

“We have to learn that a person must not be humiliated or destroyed because of their ethnicity, faith or politics,” she said. “We can’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.”

Не считай, что ты достиг конца пути
Не считай, что ты достиг конца пути,
Если тучами затянута заря,
Долгожданный час не сможет не прийти,
Шаг за шагом мы идем к нему не зря.
Из страны зеленых пальм в страну снегов
Принесли мы нашу боль и нашу скорбь,
Но решимостью и твердостью шагов
Обернулась нами пролитая кровь.
Солнце встанет, смоет светом ночи тьму.
В прах бессильный наших обратит врагов,
Но если встать не будет суждено ему,
Эта песня новых призовет бойцов.
Общей кровью песни писаны слова —
Не беспечной птичьей трелью рождены,
Их слагали мы с оружием в руках
Средь развалин нескончаемой войны.
Так не считай, что ты достиг конца пути,
Если тучами затянута заря,
Долгожданный час не сможет не прийти,
Шаг за шагом мы идем к нему не зря.

Maryusya paid tribute to the World Jewish Congress’s #WeRemember campaign, in which World ORT is a proud partner.

“The tragedy of the Holocaust must be remembered,” she said. “It is necessary to discuss its consequences and, most importantly, it is necessary to draw the right conclusions. It seems to me that art in any form gives an excellent opportunity to express one’s own attitude about what happened. This is very important because it is an opportunity to reach out to different people and to be heard.”

Never say that there is only death for you,

We shall be coming with our torment and our woe;
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth,
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth.

And all our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe;
And if the time is long before the sun appears,

Це неправда, що судилася нам смерть

Небеса блакитні, хоч і хмарний день.

Знайте, що голодні й змучені – ми тут

І за нами наші побратими йдуть

З теплих пальмових садів і до снігів

Ми пройдемо всюди, несучи свій гнів!

Наші краплі крові квітом розцвітуть

І хоробрості й відваги нам дадуть

 

Ясне сонце встане ранком осяйним.

Ворог згине, наші муки згинуть з ним!

Хоч нескоро день настане золотий,

Наша пісня обійде усі світи!

 

Наша пісня з крапель крові й барикад!

Наша пісня не з мелодій, а з гранат!

Серед горя й сліз могутній дух постав

Нашій мужності надії він додав!

 

Це неправда, що судилася нам смерть.

Небеса блакитні, хоч і хмарний день.

Скоро, скоро наші муки пропадуть!

Це земля тремтить: герої наші йдуть!

UKRAINIAN 2

Не вважай, що обривається твій шлях,

Якщо хмарами затягнена зоря.

Летимо до щастя, як до неба – птах.

Крок за кроком ми йдемо, мов немовля.

 

Із країни пальм в країну, де сніги

Ми несли тугу, скорботу і наш біль

Кров пролита надала нам до снаги

І наблизила до нас жадану ціль.

 

Сонце зійде, змиє світлом довгу ніч

Стануть чорним прахом наші вороги

Нових сил привабить наш всесвітній клич,

І збере бійців ця пісня навкруги.

 

Кров’ю спільною написані слова,

Не птахи їх наспівали уві сні.

Була створена зі зброєю в руках

На руїнах безкінечної війни.

 

Так не вважай, що обривається твій шлях,

Якщо бачиш, що надії вже нема.

Летимо до щастя, як до неба – птах.

Крок за кроком ідемо ми не дарма!

RUSSIAN
Не считай, что ты достиг конца пути
Не считай, что ты достиг конца пути,
Если тучами затянута заря,
Долгожданный час не сможет не прийти,
Шаг за шагом мы идем к нему не зря.
Из страны зеленых пальм в страну снегов
Принесли мы нашу боль и нашу скорбь,
Но решимостью и твердостью шагов
Обернулась нами пролитая кровь.
Солнце встанет, смоет светом ночи тьму.
В прах бессильный наших обратит врагов,
Но если встать не будет суждено ему,
Эта песня новых призовет бойцов.
Общей кровью песни писаны слова —
Не беспечной птичьей трелью рождены,
Их слагали мы с оружием в руках
Средь развалин нескончаемой войны.
Так не считай, что ты достиг конца пути,
Если тучами затянута заря,
Долгожданный час не сможет не прийти,
Шаг за шагом мы идем к нему не зря.

English

Never say that there is only death for you,
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue,
Because the hour we have hungered for near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble — we are here!

From land of palm tree to the far-off land of snow,
We shall be coming with our torment and our woe;
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth,
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth.

We’ll have the morning sun to set our day aglow,
And all our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe;
And if the time is long before the sun appears,
Then let this song go like a signal through the years.

This song was written with blood and not with lead;
It’s not a song that summer birds sing overhead;
It was a people among toppling barricades,
That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades.

Never say that there is only death for you,
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue,
Because the hour we have hungered for is near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble, — we are here!

Проект по изучению текста и истории создания песни инициирован известным режиссером Eli Rabinowitz . Автор проекта подчеркивает: «Мы надеемся достичь более глубокого понимания того мощного позитивного заряда, который содержится в этой песне. Это поможет современным школьникам почувствовать глубокую эмоциональную связь с молодежью эпохи Холокоста, с теми, кто исполнял эту песню, кто выжил в Катастрофе и пока еще с нами”.

A project to study the text and history of the song was initiated by the famous director Eli Rabinowitz. The Author of the project stresses: ” we hope to achieve a deeper understanding of the powerful positive charge contained in this song. This will help modern schoolchildren to feel a deep emotional connection with the youth of the Holocaust, with those who performed this song, who survived the disaster and while still with us “.

The Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem – ORT St Petersburg

 

In the lead up to the UN Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27 January 2018 a series of recordings of The Partisan Song, Zog Nit Keynmol, sung and recited by ORT and other schools will remind us of the importance of remembering and commemorating The Holocaust.

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

“This is the first time I’ve read or heard the poetry of someone from that time. It’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,” Maryusya said.

“We have to learn that a person must not be humiliated or destroyed because of their ethnicity, faith or politics,” she said. “We can’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.”

Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue,
Because the hour we have hungered for near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble — we are here!

From land of palm tree to the far-off land of snow,
We shall be coming with our torment and our woe;
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth,
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth.

We’ll have the morning sun to set our day aglow,
And all our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe;
And if the time is long before the sun appears,
Then let this song go like a signal through the years.

This song was written with blood and not with lead;
It’s not a song that summer birds sing overhead;
It was a people among toppling barricades,
That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades.

Never say that there is only death for you,
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue,
Because the hour we have hungered for is near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble, — we are here!
