Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements July 6, 2010
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments;and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ________________________________________________________________________________ Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 09:49:10 +1000 From: Joseph Toltz <[email protected]> Subject: "Ferblayb mit mit" In a recent interview with the only remaining Sobibor survivor living in Australia, my interviewee recalled a fragment of a song that she was taught when working in the very small forced labour knitting room adjacent to the camp. I'm wondering if anyone on the list can recognize the origin of this song: The fragment is: "Ferblayb mit mir, vas vilstu nisht ferlasn, du hast misht libt Farvus vilstu verlasn, Blayb mit mir, ish bin so elen vir shtayn" This is transcribed from her singing, so I may have gotten the spelling a little fermisht. Private answers gratefully received. Many thanks!
