Holocaust Remembrance Day Starts Tonight: Dudu Fisher Sings The Partisan Song

With Holocaust Remembrance Day starting at sunset today and continuing through tomorrow, we're holding off on the humor until Wednesday, so we can post videos appropriate for the commemoration.

"Zog nit keyn mol" (Never Say; Yiddish: זאָג ניט קיין מאָל‎) or "Partizaner lid" (Partisan Song) is a Yiddish song considered one of the chief anthems of the Holocaust survivors and is sung in memorial services around the world.

The lyrics of the song were written in 1943 by Hirsh Glick, a young Jewish inmate of the Vilna Ghetto. The title means "Never Say", and derives from the first line of the song. Glick's lyrics were set to music from a pre-war Soviet song

The annual March of the Living program brings thousands of young people from around the world each year on Holocaust Remembrance Day to Auschwitz-Birkenau to honour the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and to pledge to build a better world for all humanity.

In 2013, singer Dudu Fisher and the March of the Living Choir sang The Partisan Song on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Tony Orlando and Dudu Fisher Sing "Hava Nagila" and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" in Hebrew

1970s phenomenon Tony Orlando made a name for himself churning out bubble-gum pop songs with a female duo called Dawn, performing such runaway hits as Knock Three Times and Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree. 

The group sold nearly 30 million records, topped the Billboard charts three times, and had their own television variety show that lasted for two seasons.

Orlando has teamed up with Israeli singer Dudu Fisher and they have been performing in Fisher's show The Voice of Broadway, which played in Branson, Missouri and was shown in a PBS television special. A highlight of their show is their singing Hava Nagila followed by Tie a Yellow Ribbon, the song that made Tony Orlando and Dawn famous. Orlando sings the song in English, and Fisher joins in with a Hebrew translation.

Here's the video clip of Orlando and Fisher singing the two songs. If you're feeling nostalgic about the 1973 original, the Tony Orlando and Dawn original song follows.

Enjoy!
