@imanolanfan Yes, I know. I have distant relatives who returned to Germany from Russia after the war.. However, 250,000 is small compared to the German population. Also, these returning Jews don't speak Yiddish.

@ninah1 Hitler didn't kill all of them. There were approximately 250,000 Jews living in Europe at the end of WWII. Praise God! He said in the Old Testament that He would always save a remnant of the Jewish people!

@beyoncetyratina well, the fact that this is andrews sisters makes up for it :)
-
@hendrixphish420 . . .quite right. . the two dots over the word change the accent as you mentioned there - it applies throughout the German grammar. "Shoon" or "Shoern" rather than "shon"
-
@ninah1 . . . on the contrary, German Jews are doing well for themselves today as accepted part of the community esp in Berlin and Munich. Today's Germany is far removed from the 30s and 40s - they are polite and hard-working people, and wouldn't hesitate to volunteer help to a foreigner like myself.

You would not have heard of Yiddish in Germany because the Germans killed all the Jews.

@ninah1 . . .holy mackerell !!. . .who would have thought, eh ?. . I always thought Yiddish was some sort of Jewish dialect spoken in Europe. I spent a bit of time in Deutschland in the military and picked up some local lingo; and never once was Yiddish mentioned as part of the German language. . .ja, ich glaube es !

Yiddish is a patois of German, more like old Austrian German. The song was written in Yiddish and translated to English. Nina
