Dear Mendelyaner, I’m looking for a Yiddish poem about the Holocaust that expresses faith in God (despite the terrible circumstances). I have found poems about hope and faith in humanity but have been unable to put my finger on anything that expresses faith in God. The poem should not be too long or, if long, should have an easily extractable section. Any ideas? If you know of an English translation of the poem in addition to the Yiddish, that is even better. Bibliographic details are always welcome. Thanks so much. _______________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
