The yiddish is even more accusatory. More directly translated it states "and you stand there looking amongst each other, with spread hands, as our village burns". To me this reads as the implication that we stand there, seeing horror and injustice and taking no action, moralising and condemning as much as we like but never taking action to fight back against the horror. We cry and feel sorrow in face of it all but we fail to fight the onslaught. In short, am israel chai
I’m not religious, nor Polish, nor do I have any connections to the Yiddish. But this song has such emotion, such beauty that it brings a tear to my eye, the song screams out in anguish as people die around them as everything burns. Truly an incredible song
I've never been to Poland but I miss it lol. My entire family lived in Radom before the war. Only two survived, because they moved to Brooklyn in 1930. The rest were never seen again. We have some family stories about Poland still, and some old Yiddishized Polish words that survived. My grandpa used to call my grandma "pinkna" and would remind us to "wash your rentsa" before dinner, etc. We still call sausage "kiskha", and make pastries with "mak", and eat fish with "khran." Now I don't know a single sentence in Polish except for "kurwa bóbr" lmao but if I had the time I would learn it for sure. Apparently Radom was beautiful, like a "little Paris", and everyone was friendly with each other. Not just Poles and Jews, but also the Ukrainians, and the few Germans, Czechs, Latvians who were living in the town too. Some of my family worked in a factory that made leather belts, and some others worked for the theater. I don't know if they were actors or janitors or what. People don't understand that parts of Poland were very integrated. Jews went to churches for their classmate's confirmations, Catholics went to synagogues for Bar Mitzvahs.
It was about Krakow's Ghetto, Mordechai Gebirtig lived in Krakow (his poetic work references it numerous times). Still a great song and a great rendition of it
@@handsomelyditto4215 It is oversimplification. That was almost completely Stalin's doing because he wanted Poland to be a Soviet satellite. His officers were sympathetic despite ideological differences, but his word was stronger than their advice.
your title is wrong. the song was written in 1936, the warsaw ghetto uprising took place in 1943. this song is about the pogroms that took place in the polish 2nd republic, not under german occupation.
@@laithmughrabi8990how about the fact the Ghetto population was liquidated and sent to extermination to a point there were only a few thousands left out of 450,000 people at the start of the war - while in Gaza the population has more than doubled itself in the last two decades or so, since there was no hunger and no extermination. How about the fact the rebels managed to take down a few dozen German soldiers with them, while in October 7th the kind people of Gaza has Massacared over 1000 civillians and committed atrocities such as gang r*ping women, beheading children and abducting almost 200 people as war spoils? So back to your question - literally EVERYTHING is different between October 7th and Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The question that should be ask is what difference is between Hamas and ISIS who committed the same atrocities while praising Allah and rejoicing in the murder of infidels.
@@laithmughrabi8990 remind me when did the Warsaw Ghetto rebels took their vengeance upon civillians by graping women and beheading children? Was that before or after they burnet and tortured entire families alive? Or perhaps it wasn't near the end of the war, when the vast majority of the Ghetto was liquidated or starved to death (while prior to the war Gaza's population doubled itself ever since the "blockade" imposed by Israel) In short - EVERYTHING was different.

@@ortarkgendar how can you support Israel when theyre committing the exact same attrocities that this song sings about? “But they’re terrorists” isn’t an excuse, or even an actual fact to justify what’s happening. In Germany, we were “parasites” and now Palestinians are dehumanized the same way just with different words.
This sad song makes me wonder, why didn't the Soviets try to establish at least an autonomous Jewish land within Poland (or nearby) to offset Zionism? I know about the JAO in Siberia which was way too isolated
There was a socialist Jewish movement from the end of the 18th century till the start of WW1 called the Bundist movement Mainly a secular socialist movement seeking autonomy in Lithuania/Belarus/Ukraine It lost more and more popularity due to the Jews preferring Yisrael over time
That's very cynical and ignorant towards Jews who were trying to escape not/not only to form the state of Israel but to just get rid of the socialist nightmares.
@seronymus didn't mean to offend though! From the Soviet perspective the anti-Zionist action would be the secondary if not just a formal reason to create the Jewish region somewhere in Europe, same as with Jewish Autonomous Oblast created somewhere in the ass of the Union which just didn't succeed even before the USSR fell. Also I can agree with the commenter above: Jews sympathized with the repatriation more and more and staying here just didn't fit into the frame.
In the Soviet Union, there was a plan to create a Jewish autonomous region in Ukraine, but many non-Jews lived on its territory. For this reason, the Jewish Autonomous Region was established in the Far East in Birobidzhan. The Jewish Autonomous Region still exists as part of the Russian Federation. The project was supported by American Jewish organizations all over the world and had big plans for it. But the idea turned out to be unsuccessful, urban intellectuals went to explore the dense forests on the border with China, who had to literally explain how to dig with a shovel. As a result, Israel appeared and no one needed the Jewish Autonomous Region. There is still a Jewish community in the province, the tables on the street are duplicated in Yiddish, and there is a menorah in the governor's office.
Humanity is allowing them to starve by supporting Hamas. I don’t think you’re evil but I think you’re ignorant. Israel delivers trucks of aid that Hamas ends up stealing.

Palestinians will sing the same lyrics just in a different language. History is repeating in the most sickeningly ironic way. We’ve become everything we hate. Don’t let history repeat itself and join the side of humanity. Israel was never on our side. The Jews in ghettos led an uprising amidst circumstances that threatened their existence. Are Palestinians not doing the same thing? Should they not also resist their oppressors? Never again for everyone.
7th october moment. Massacre, that "poor" palestinians made againt civilians is a part of "glorious resistance" too? Pro-palestinians are so hypocratic, thats crazy!
That accusatory line "You just stand there gazing, with your folded hands" hits hard
It is simple yet eloquent. So many brave and talented Jews. Lost to a psychotic hate, to evil.
