Elegy 1941​

 

For Violin and Orchestra

​

80 years ago, in 1941, the fate of European Jews was decided at the sinister Wannsee conference where the Holocaust was planned and carried out by the nazi regime on a large scale from then on.

I want to remember my past

To see before my eyes
The image of my parents
The house in which I grew up
The village in which my family lived

for generations

I don't want to remember my past

I fear for what my memory
Might bring before my eyes

I wonder whether I can continue my life
If I'll rescue from oblivion
What I want to recall.

― Itta Benhaiem-Keller
