I've known this song since Joan Baez's original, a long time ago.
Also, I've known the deep meaning of this song related to the suffering of the Jewish people under Nazi Germany.

I've been mentioning this to Japanese people since this song has been very popular in Japan and it is in many Japanese music textbooks for primary and/or secondary education.

When you copy the following Japanese word on YouTube,
ドナドナ
you'll find the Japanese version of this song.
