Written by Shmerke Kaczerginski (1908-1954) over the loss of his wife, Barbara Kaufman, a Vilna partisan originally from Kraków, who was executed by the Germans in Lithuania. Composer Abraham Brudno (d. 1943/4) was believed to have perished in an Estonian concentration camp.
Kaczerginski was a legendary poet, partisan and ethno-musicologist who was integral in saving many priceless cultural and literary treasures from destruction. After WWII he settled in Brazil and was killed in a plane crash, while on a book tour.
The complete lyrics comprise three verses. There is a video glitch in the performance, which obliterated three lines. This Radio Edit removes the entire truncated middle verse.
