Victor said, "The main thing to know about this cliched song is that it was the first choice tune to be played at the end of the film Schindler's List. However when the movie was tested in Israel the audience research people found everyone doubled up with laughter."

FWIW, when I saw Schindler's list -- uncut -- on TV here in the US, that was the song played (and sung by the cast) at the end of the film.   I can't speak for Sabras and other Israel residents, but the staff and residents of some Jewish retirement homes where I do music really like the song and find it very moving.
