4/5/43:
4,000 Jews shot at Ponar, Lithuania
(100,000 would eventualy
die there.)
One 3-yr-old survived.
Ch'ob gezen dayn tatn loyfn
Unter hogl fun shteyn--
Iber felder iz gefloygn
Zayn faryosemter geveyn.
I have seen your father running
Through a hail of stones,
And across the fields there drifted
His melancholy groans.
"S'dremlen Feygl Oyf Di Tsvaygn" by Leah Rudnitzky.
Treasury of Jewish Folksong, Ruth Rubin; 1950
Shortly after writing the song, Rudnitzky died at Majdanek.
