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 “.
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.

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.

Here is a new video of a student of ORT School #550, St Petersburg, Russia reciting The Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem in English

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.

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.”

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.”

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!

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!

ROMANIAN

CÂNTECUL PARTIZANILOR EVREI DIN VILNA

Nu spune că te afli azi pe cel din urmă drum
Albastra şi o ‘năbuşă un cer de plumb acum.
Doritul nostru ceas o să răsară într’o zi
Şi’n marş de tobe vom cânta atunci: – “Suntem aci!”

Din ţara de curmalt şi până’n ţara cu zăpezi,
Suntem aci cu chinul şi cu jalea drept dovezi
Şi orişiunde-un strop de sânge-al nostru a căzut,
Va creşte forţa noastră şi curajul nostru mut.

Cu soare se va polei acest “azi” de dureri
Şi odată cu duşmanii va pieri al nostri “eri”
Iar dacă soarele va ‘ntârzia în zori de leac
Parolă vie, – cântul va păşi din veac-în veac.

Cu plumb şi sânge cântecul acesta este scris,
Nu-i cânt de păsărică liberă în sbor deschis,
Ci ‘n prăvăliri de ziduri, duduid asurzitor,
Cu revolverele în mâini îl cântă un popor.

Nu spune că te afli azi pe cel din urmă drum
Albastra şi o ‘năbuşă un cer de plumb acum.
Doritul nostru ceas o să răsară într’o zi
Şi’n marş de tobe vom cânta atunci: – “Suntem aci!”

אַךְ אִם חָלִילָה יְאַחֵר לָבוֹא הָאוֹר
כְּמוֹ סִיסְמָה יְהֵא הַשִּׁיר מִדּוֹר לְדוֹר.
אַךְ אִם חָלִילָה יְאַחֵר לָבוֹא הָאוֹר
כְּמוֹ סִיסְמָה יְהֵא הַשִּׁיר מִדּוֹר לְדוֹר.

אַךְ אִם חָלִילָה יְאַחֵר לָבוֹא הָאוֹר
כְּמוֹ סִיסְמָה יְהֵא הַשִּׁיר מִדּוֹר לְדוֹר.
בִּכְתַב הַדָּם וְהָעוֹפֶרֶת הוּא נִכְתַּב;
הוּא לֹא שִׁירַת צִפּוֹר הַדְּרוֹר וְהַמֶּרְחָב,
כִּי בֵּין קִירוֹת נוֹפְלִים שָׁרוּהוּ כָּל הָעָם,
יַחְדָּיו שָׁרוּהוּ וְנאַגאַנִים בְּיָדָם.

עַל כֵּן אַל נָא תֹּאמַר: דַּרְכִּי הָאַחֲרוֹנָה
אֶת אוֹר הַיּוֹם הִסְתִּירוּ שְׁמֵי הָעֲנָנָה.
זֶה יוֹם נִכְסַפְנוּ לוֹ עוֹד יַעַל וְיָבוֹא,
וּמִצְעָדֵנוּ עוֹד יַרְעִים: אֲנַחְנוּ פֹּה!
זֶה יוֹם נִכְסַפְנוּ לוֹ עוֹד יַעַל וְיָבוֹא,

The Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem – ORT Vilnius

Vilnius Jewish Community President and his daughters sing Zog Nit Keynmol

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.

Here is a new video of Simon Gurevich, and his two daughters, Naomi and Avital, singing The Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem in Yiddish. Naomi is a student at ORT Solomo Aleichemo School in Vilnius.

Simon is the President of the Jewish Community in Vilnius – the largest Jewish Community in Lithuania with over 2200 members.

Simon is also a Board Member of the Sholom Aleichem ORT school.

The translation of Yiddish spoken words in the video below:

Naomi: We are the Gurevich family from Vilnius, the Jerusalem of Lithuania.
Avital: My name is Avital. Here is my sister Naomi and our father Simon.
Naomi: Yiddish is a language that we speak at home and we love to sing songs
in Yiddish.
Avital: One of the nicest songs is the song of the Jewish partizans – “Zog Nit Keynmol …… Mir zeyen do” –  Never Say …… We Are Here!
Simon : I am very proud that with my wonderful kids, I have an opportunity to
read and sing the words of Hirsh Glick, once sung by our grandparents.

 

YIDDISH

Zog nit keyn mol, az du geyst dem letstn veg,
Khotsh himlen blayene farshteln bloye teg.
Kumen vet nokh undzer oysgebenkte sho,
S’vet a poyk ton undzer trot: mir zaynen do!

Fun grinem palmenland biz vaysn land fun shney,
Mir kumen on mit undzer payn, mit undzer vey,
Un vu gefaln iz a shprits fun undzer blut,
Shprotsn vet dort undzer gvure, undzer mut!

S’vet di morgnzun bagildn undz dem haynt,
Un der nekhtn vet farshvindn mit dem faynt,
Nor oyb farzamen vet di zun in der kayor –
Vi a parol zol geyn dos lid fun dor tsu dor.

Dos lid geshribn iz mit blut, un nit mit blay,
S’iz nit keyn lidl fun a foygl oyf der fray,
Dos hot a folk tsvishn falndike vent
Dos lid gezungen mit naganes in di hent.

To zog nit keyn mol, az du geyst dem letstn veg,
Khotsh himlen blayene farshteln bloye teg.
Kumen vet nokh undzer oysgebenkte sho –
Es vet a poyk ton undzer trot: mir zaynen do!

The Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem – ORT Odessa

 

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.

Here is a new video of a student of ORT Odessa, reciting The Holocaust Survivors’ Anthem in Russian.

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.

ORT Jabotinski School # 94, Odessa

A specialized ORT school was first set up in Odessa in 1882, with the purpose of teaching vocational professions to Jewish students. The school existed until 1922 when ORT ceased its activity in the USSR because of political difficulties.  With the declaration of Ukrainian independence 70 years later, it was possible once again to re-establish a dedicated Jewish school. The “Tali” Jewish Sunday school was established in Odessa in 1993, and this was used as the basis for the creation of Jewish state school # 94 in 1995.  ORT renewed its operations in Odessa in 1997 and since then the history of ORT and Odessa’s Jewish school have been inextricably linked. In 2002, an ORT Technology Centre was set up at the school.
