Tan triste, tan bello / So sad, so beautiful.

My grand father is a just among the nations, so each time I am hearing this "song", I a crying ant thinking about him..............

@jmburkow Finally, a voice of wisdom in the youtube comments!

@zentopia7 I'm not exactly a 'Jewish person'; more like a Polish/Slavic person with Jewish ancestry, but thank you for the support. And yes, sadly you too would have been fair game for the Nazi death camps.
-
@jmburkow AMEN, finally I hear a Jewish person speak the truth that Jews weren't the only ones singled out by Hitler, I'm gay by the way, I would have perished in Nazi Germany also.

Some of the libretto (lyrics) in this piece are taken from a teenage girl's prayer on a Gestapo prison wall during World War II. Some are taken from a Silesian folk song, where a mother has lost her son in a war. I didn't see it mentioned here and I feel it adds to the already astonishing beauty of this symphony.

1:03 makes me feel so emotional :'(

1:05 - An instant plummet into darkness.

beauty

@iancbr mine too! It's almost sad that the composer was so close to the tragedy. This music could have been about other, perhaps inner and more personal pain. But it and the composer are forever linkend to the murder of the Jews in WW2

@KrisKardash777 Let's not get into a contest about who suffered the most. We shouldn't vie for victim status (I'm also Polish with some Jewish ancestry). The Nazi camps were designed to consume and liquidate human life and the humans happened to be Jewish, Slavic (Polish, Russian), Roma, gay, communist, Jehovah Witnesses, and the physically or mentally infirm. We must feel this pain for everyone, including the various Germans who fell into those categories.

We're all just people, feeling the same way. Doesn't matter whose music or tragedy.
