_ Grazie mille. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm _ _ _ _ very touched and very honored _ to be part _ tonight _ _ of the commemoration of the Holocaust.
_ _ _ _ It is a very special moment _ and _ _ as you very well know my mission has been for 35 years now
_ to revive the music of the pre-war time. _
_ Music of the Jewish immigrants _ of the time of the Weimar Republic
before the Nazis destroyed _ _ the entire culture. _ _ _ _ _ _
Selma Mehrbaum-Eisinger.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She was born [F] in Czernowice. _ _
_ _ _ _ Already at the age of 18 _ _ she [Ab] _ _
died in the German labor camp _ _ [Gb] Michalowska. _ _
She had loved poetry _ [Eb] _ but she knew _ that hope _ was only a far away [C] dream. _ _
_ Ich bin in Sehnsucht gehüllt.
She said, _ _ [G] I wear a coat made _ of despair and longing.
_ _ Her friend René _ Abramowicz _ was able to escape from the camp.
_ _ [A] She was _ walking on the back of horse carriages on top of trains
_ [Gb]
through Poland, _ Hungary and finally Israel.
_ _ In her backpack _ she carried a little notebook with poetry _ written by _ Selma Mehrbaum _ -Eisinger.

We [Bb] _ _ [Gb] were _ one [Dm] _ row.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] The light [Dm] is like [Eb] in a fairy tale.
_ _ Soft _ [F] and blue _ _ [Bb] dreams. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The sky _ _ _ is [Eb] still _ bright. _ _ _ _
You can hardly see [Ebm] _ _ _ _
the _ [Cm] stars. _ _ _ _

_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ in memory _ _ of all those who have been deprived [B] of humanity and dignity.
_ _ _ _ All those who have been [Db] [Bb] beaten, _ [B] tortured and broken [Bb] _ _ and killed. _
By [Ebm] the Germans and the helpers in those years of Nazi Germany. _ _
