Thank you for preserving and sharing Moshe’s story. Music breaks down all boundaries. He is right to say there is no explanation.
Thankyou for your testimony, ich bin ergriffen. Shalom!
"It was real in my mind..."
what language is he speaking? as a german i understand partly
It’s called Yiddish (or “Jewish”). Depending on where it was spoken, it had features of late medieval southern German grammar and practical words, a good mix of Hebrew, and some Slavic thrown in here and there. It largely died with most of those lost during the Holocaust.
Thx for surviving!
At least the victims of Kramer got some justice when he was hanged by the British in 1946 many got away never were brought to justice for their crimes.
