Thanks for the link to the Zemerl website, Liland - what an excellent site ! I've only had a quick look through it just now, but have already found so much useful and interesting stuff, and links to other places too. I hadn't heard this song in years, then heard it sung last year at a Passover Seder. The (Liberal Jewish) family I was with obviously sing it regularly at their seder, because they had typed it out, along with more traditional songs for passover, in their "personalised" family "haggadah" booklet. I had never, until now, ever thought of a holocaust connotation to this song.How interesting. And it makes the song very moving.

Shalom
