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.
