‘Holocaust survivor anthem’ to be performed at UN by 3 Israelis
The traditional Holocaust Anthem is the Yiddish song Zog nit kan mol – Never say this is the end, also known as “The Partisan’s Song,,” written in 1943 by Vilna poet Hirsh Glik to a melody composed by the Soviet-Jew Dimitri Pokrass. The song’s powerful lyrics and rhythm raised the morale of fighters against the Nazis. World ORT is aiding in a campaign to introduce it to schoolchildren so that the next generation remembers it as well.
There is only one “Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem”, namely Zog Nit Keynmol, written by Hirsh Glik in the Vilna ghetto in 1943. This has been sung for the past 75 years as the hymn of the partisans, of those incarcerated in the camps and ghettos, and Holocaust survivors since the end of WWII. Read more about it at: http://elirab.me/zog-nit-keynmol/ and watch the inspiring videos of students around the world singing the anthem. Translated into 23 languages.
