8 Feb'08 /I rented Steven Spielberg's epic masterpiece of filmmaking, 'Schindler's List', a week or so ago. This song is heard during the 'liquidation' of the Ghetto in Krakow during the Holocaust.. I wept and wept...I remember my mother singing this song, and crying because it reminded her of HER mother. (my grandmother).

What a beautiful melody, and the lyrics are heartbreaking. Your photos with this music are wonderful. Thanks for sharing. (are you the singer, too?)

[helueb]

part two: When you get older, children, You will understand that this alphabet Contains the tears and the weeping of our people. (Refrain) When you grow weary, children And burdened with exile, You will find comfort and strength within this Jewish alphabet. (Refrain) Refrain: See now children, remember dear ones, What you've learned here; repeat it again and again Aleph with kametz is "o"! Greetings from a german.

[Muzzly1234]

I hear you. man.

[helueb]

p.s.: i´m very sad about what happend in auschwitz.

[helueb]

Part one:

On the hearth a little fire is burning,

And it is hot in the house,

And the rebbe is teaching the little children.

The Aleph Bet.

Study, children, with great interest,

That is what I tell you;

He who'll know his lessons first,

Will get a banner for a prize. (Refrain)

[Isan0870]

En español: En la fogata una pequeña llama aparece Y el calor se expande en la casa Y el Rabbi le enseña a los niños pequeños el Aleph-bet. (ABC hebreo) Escuchen cuidadosamente y recuerden pequeños, recuerden lo que están aprendiendo ahora, Y repitanlo una vez y otra vez y otra vez, "Komets-alef: o!" Estudien pequeños, estudien con gran deseo, Les digo esto, aquél que más rápido aprenda la lección, recibirá un premio.

[Isan0870]

Oyfn Pripetchik en Yiddish (escrito por Mark Warshavsky) אױפֿן פּריפּעטשיק "Oyfn pripetchik brent a fayerl, un in shtub is heys. Un der rebe lernt kleyne kinderlakh dem alef-beyz." "Zet zhe kinderlakh, gedenkt zhe, tayere, vos ir lernt do. Zogt zhe nokh a mol un take nokh a mol: "Komets-alef: o!"" "Lernt, kinder, mit groys kheyshek, Azoy zog ikh aykh on, Ver s'vet gikher fun aykh kenen ivre, Der bakumt a fon."

[eladale2000]

what a beautiful song,

somehow this song immidiatly connects with sadness-ss third generation for holocaust survivers-i used to hear this song all the time-before my had passed away,

yehi zichram baruch.

This song is so very beautiful! I sometimes shed a tear when I listen to this and reflect upon the lost world of European Jewish culture ... forever gone with the wind. In any case I would to make a pilgrimage to Kishinev, Bessarabia, where my ancestors were from (now Chisinau, Moldova).
