THEN and NOW.....

 THE PARTISANs' SONG, Europe, 1943

In the darkest days of the Holocaust, Jews maintained hope in their survival and future. 

Among the songs they sang was the Yiddish Partisan's song entitled "Zog Nisht Kein Mohl: Never say that you are walking on your final road."  

The lyrics of this song were written by Hirsch Glick, a young Jewish inmate of the Vilna Ghetto. 

Hirsch was inspired to write the song by news of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising in 1943. 

During the War, "Zog Nisht Keyn Mol" was adopted by a number of Jewish partisan groups operating in Eastern Europe. 

It became a symbol of resistance against Nazi Germany's persecution of the Jews and the Holocaust. 

In the midst of death and destruction, years before the state of Israel became a reality, years before there was any glimmer of hope on the horizon, the Jews sang of survival....... 

Lyrics:

Never say that you have reached the very end
Though leaden skies a bitter future may portend
Because the hour which we yearn for will arrive
And our marching step will thunder: We survive!...

CHAI: ISRAEL, 2018 

Today, survivors, their children and grandchildren in Israel join to sing about the future of Am Yisrael: 

CHAI, we are alive.

We thank Hashem for all the miracles He did and continues to do for us. 

We thank Him for our lives and the opportunity to continue to fulfill our historic destiny.  

Lyrics: 

Listen my brothers, I am still alive

And my two eyes are still raised to the light

Many are my thorns, but also my flowers

And before me are years too numerous to count

I ask and I pray...

It is good that hope was not lost...
