    Long ago, i wanted to watch the movie with my girlfriend. She didn't want to but didn't really explain why. So i insisted cause it's hands down my favorite movie and i really wanted her to see it with me. She finally accepted, but after a moment, she started crying. I instantly stopped TV and felt so bad and guilty. It was a deep deep pain that i couldn't really understand, i had never seen her like that. Then she explained me why it moved her so much : all her family but her grand mother was killed in Auschwitz. After that, she showed me their names on a memorial in Paris, then started crying again in front of it. This pain is like written in her DNA. The next day we went to her grand mother's house, a small old and skinny woman : i had never been that impressed by anyone in my entire life. From that moment, i had nothing but respect and admiration for this woman.

      Every descendant of the Holocaust feels this on some level. Its a scar every single one of us feels through the generations.
      Its one thing to be moved by the Holocaust. Its another to know that this atrocity was aimed at your own people, but to know that your very family were victims is something else entirely. Many of us who descend from Shoah survivors feel residual pain because of this.
      I believe I can speak for many like me when I say we feel a sense of responsibility to make the most of the gift of life, in honor of our ancestors who were never given the same opportunity.
      For us, the Holocaust is a fact of life. We grew up knowing what 'concentration camp' was before our friends heard about it in schools. As the rest of our peers gasp in horror, we simply sigh in remembrance.
      For some, it is a proud thing to be related to a survivor. It means that our very existence serves as a reminder that the monsters who tried to erase all of us failed.
      For others, it is a quiet pain that they choose to keep to themselves as the knowledge of what their family went through is something that, for one reason or another, they find too painful to think about.
      This is likely why she couldn't bear to watch and broke down so badly.
      She feels the pain

      My dad was with 82nd in WWII. His troop liberated one of the death camps, Wobbelin. His fellow soldier, brother in arms, was Brooklyn Jewish, one generation removed from Europe. I wept hysterically when I first heard this piece and everytime since. I was born long after the war and my father never spoke to anyone but his fellow soldiers about the war. I only learned years after my father died when I spoke to one of his fellow troopers that “liberated” this camp with him. I now understand why I react so strongly. We carry the genes of memory and trauma in our core.

    My father was one of the first troop's into Belsen concentration camp in WW2 and this music reminds me of the one and only time he ever spoke about it, and I could see the sadness of what he had seen in his eyes, my dad passed away in 1999 and this music reminds me of him and what he had been through, it's a beautiful piece of music.

    This must be one of John Williams' most expressive and emotional pieces which transcends the movie it was written for. Actually, I'll stand corrected. It IS his most emotional and expressive pieces which lives totally removed from its movie. Music that is so beautiful and at the same time so full of hurt, pain and suffering. But then....that's exactly what John Williams wanted us to hear, feel and perceive.

      His parents, both jewish, immigrated from Poland to present day Israel in the mid-1930s. I think this is close to Itzhaks heart, because if they would have waited a couple of years with the move who knows what would have happened. He had probably a lot of family that died.

I have never been able to play without tears streaming down my face. Hearing the violin cry for all of the innocent lives taken and affected by such horror hits me with so many emotions. Is this piece beautiful? Yes, but to me the one word I would use is sorrow. I won my competition and went on to continue to play my beloved violin. No piece of music has ever affected me the way this one does. Seeing one of my idols play this has those tears streaming down my face again. So much emotion in one beautiful piece. ❤

    Itzhak is truly a gift to classical music, and specifically the violin. His kind and gentle soul is projected through his playing. I saw him in person, and he’s absolutely wonderful❤❤❤.

    Absolutely beautiful music and a moving performance by Itshak Perlman. You can see how this music moves him, and it is as if he is muttering words while playing. Impressive.

    Utter perfection. That final note will haunt for the rest of my life, and for all eternity.
