The melody starts of with hope and energy. Then comes a reality check with sadness and difficulty. Then renewed energy to fight and not give up. More of the same. Some more pain and sadness. Then acceptance of the situation due to lack of options. Some peace follows. Life is beautiful. Hope is a wonderful thing.
Some members of the Auschwitz womens orchestra survived in this way such as Fania Fenelon. The film "Playing for Time" (1980) is on Netflix now about her story.
Such a great story, and being a student of history of that period, I believe it happened. So terrible when people say it probably never happened, just read about the camps the Nazi's had all over Germany, Poland and elsewhere. Lets hope the story never dies like so many in the camps did.
A beautiful story, whether it took place or not. Kol nidre is a truly beautiful song. For the non-jews in the audience, the song is played on the eve of yom kipper- and asks god to forgive all the vows the Jews weren’t strong enough to keep. Yom kipper is the holiest day of the year. It is a time where the Jews atone for their sins, pray for their loved ones/ancestors and ask god forgiveness. It is a period that the Jews believe seals their fate for the year.
Day of Atonement... Thats what Jesus came to do to take our place and atone for our sins. Ive never heard Kol Nideri? But its about forgivness. Wow i believe the story happened. It lifted up the people Of God on one of the darkest days of their history. What a brave man and a brave kind act to play something that would lift them up even if only temporarily.
Yeah, looks like we're going to HAVE TO google Kol Nidrei because the genius who put this video together about a violinist playing Kol Nidrei thought it would be cool to have a PIANO in the background playing something OTHER THAN KOL NIDREI! Brilliant!
He wasn't playing instrument for his NAZI oppressors. He was playing to give his fellow Jews prisoners a glimpse of hope, of dignity in a place where none was possible. I am sure God grant him place in heaven.
The fragment of music at the last sounds like an arrangement (for violin) of German (protestant) composer Max Bruchs Kol nidrei for cello and orchestra (and yes, the melody is traditional and used for Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement).
This is a beautiful story, but why do you accompany it with the wrong music? I had to turn off the sound, because i found the piano music so annoying, even that there was music playing when the story suggested that there was silence....this is the music that should be on this video, and not at the beginning, but at the right point in the story: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eYdXu2MH6YE.html
If the music matched the text it would spoil the story. By not playing Kol Nidrei we are left wondering to the end what the violin music was. The reveal makes for a more impactful finish.
@@b.miller2799 Thank you! It would be very significant to find out. He can tell of his many emotions as he played Kol Nidre with his soul on that cold night...Unfortunately and with so many examples through history, hate has always been the cause of so much misfortune and suffering in this world...

Such a glorious opportunity to educate and enlighten non-Jews and non-practicing Jews, or those who know little of the religion, their ancestry, etc. An opportunity lost to probably most: all those of us who don’t know much about Yom Kippur or the song mentioned. #exclusiveknowledge
Wow !!!!! This must have been so fantastic to the other prisoners. That stupid idiotic nazi's didn't even know that is was Yom Kippoer, and that the song he played was the Kol Nidrei. I also feel this pride !!! NEVER AGAIN, NEVER FORGET !!! 💜✡💜✡💜✡💜
I always weep for Excellence personified Music 's Best ALMA ROSE ..Her father never played after this horrible war took millions of INNOCENTS....most Cruelly
All violinists unite! I’m a german violinist.....that’s cool I guess....ya know I actually thought violin wasn’t that cool but now I think it’s AWESOME
I'm not sure I understand this story. I've always read that the Jews had all their belongings taken from them...where then did this man get his violin? I will watch again, perhaps I missed something.
Today is Shabbat 2/5/22. I was given Ezkiel 1, to read on this Shabbat. I Cry with you my people, always. Return to HaShem your G-D, He is waiting for your return. Burn and destroy your idols those who have failed in following Torah of HaShem, your CREATOR knows that you are just humans amongst the nations. A small people, but loved by your SAVIOR and your REDEEMER. Destroy , bury your idols, and return to your beloved home.
Kol Nidrei is the tune's name. I'm not Jewish so I don't know the significance of it in this context. I would appreciate an explanation from someone who knows. Thanks in anticipation.
Kol Nidrei means "all vows." It a start prayer on Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is a day of Judgment. On Rosh HaShanah the future is written on Yom Kippur it is sealed. This prayer proactively annuls any personal or religious oaths or prohibitions made upon oneself to G d for the next year, so as to preemptively avoid the sin of breaking vows made to God which cannot be or are not upheld. It is very emotional and haunting melody. This prayer is not taken lightly. There are plenty of example on youtube
The explanation was great, but left out that Yom Kippur is by far the holiest most solemn day of the year. And every Jew would recognize the Kol Nidre immediately. It will tear at their souls.
War is war no one is right or wrong but living to tell the truth is different. . Such a shame wish nothing but the best for you all. Good luck and remember good hearts exist.
Kol Nidrei lyrics: Prohibitions, oaths, consecrations, vows that we may vow, swear, consecrate, or prohibit upon ourselves from this Yom Kippur until the next Yom Kippur, may it come upon us for good regarding them all, we regret them henceforth. They will all be permitted, abandoned, cancelled, null and void, without power and without standing. Our vows shall not be valid vows; our prohibitions shall not be valid prohibitions; and our oaths shall not be valid oaths.
God's holiest day? Maybe God should decide which day he decides is the holiest. It may be an important point to remember but God is not the personal property of Israel or the Judaen rabbianicals.
Nazis so cruel, took time out from their cruelty to the prisoners, to be entertained by a wonderful Jewish musician. So Sad. How did the Nazis "do what they were told", how could any human do this cruelty to men, women and children, How?
The logic excaped you because you don't know history. It is highly unlikely that the film camera that captured a few seconds of the prisoner had the ability to record audio.
Click bait. Waiting for the violin solo that never happened. What a sham of video. Wasting our precious time. YOu could have presented the paragraph of the story and we'd read it in 2 minutes or less, but you wanted to hold us riveted for over 6 and a half minutes. To read a few words slowly splayed out on a screen by screen basis. ...and not hear a violin you promised,. May Hashem forgive you
Why all this suffering upon the Jewish people? The answer is: Isaiah53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Allen K Sorry but the Jews bring it upon themselves. Jesus Christ stood on Mt. Olive overlooking Jerusalem where a crowd of Jews stood. Jesus said "you have defied God's law, etc., etc., "You will be cast all over the world and wherever you go you will be hated" the Jews yelled out "kill him, kill him." This is why the Jews do not believe in Jesus but I sure do and always have! I won't go into the reasons why Jews are hated it would take too long!
With great respect, this is like one of those interminable jokes that go on and on and on and on until those still awake have entirely lost interest. I gave it two minutes.
Sob sob sob. At least as many non-Jews as Jews died during the Holocaust/Shoah. Why do we get all these videos about Jews all the time? Personally, I'd like to see some documentaries about Russian POWs in German camps, massacres perpetrated against the Yugoslav anti-Nazi forces, the Greeks who suffered after their entire country was taken over by the Nazis, and about Poles, who lost the largest proportion of their population of any nation in WW II. Give me a break from this sentimental drivel that's nothing but propaganda to make people feel sorry for Jews while zionist-supremacist apartheid Israel is perpetrating atrocities against civilian Palestinians.
You are an ignorant, uneducated Anti-Semitic a++hole. You know nothing of factual history, but spread hate. Jews have never said they are the only ones who have suffered. There were twice as many Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust than non-Jews. Jews are not looking for the your sympathy. We don't need it since we know who we are. You are so stupid about the Israeli/Palestinian issue. It's a waste replying to people like you since you have nothing intelligent to say
@@airdogr3438 You are on the list of utterly stupid, uneducated, bigoted Anti-Semite. You are hopeless like the rest of the people who believe in baseless falsehoods. Anytime the words, Jewish, or Israel is mentioned on RU-vid, I can count on rabid Anti-Semetism. It's a waste of time engaging w/ people like you
Tracy Beresford Would they allow the Palestinians to fly their flag without demonization, persecution, segregation, isolation, stinking water. God Bless the Palestinian people. Those that have not been murdered!!
If it's immoral to deny the holocaust--which it is--shouldn't it also be immoral to deny the social justice holocaust against the people of Palestine? If it's wrong for Trump's police to beat black men in the streets, shouldn't it also be wrong for Netanyahu's police to beat Palestinian men in the streets?
This a typical jew during the slave trade "Aaron Lopez expanded his trade beyond the North American coastline and by 1757 had major interests in the West Indian trade.[7] He also sent ships to Europe and the Canary Islands.[8] Between 1761 and 1774, Lopez was involved in the slave trade.[9] While The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews describes Lopez as "Newport's leading participant in the Black Holocaust", historian Eli Faber determined Lopez
Just one more of the many of Jewish stories. Kol Nidri is the absolving of any vow, oath pledge, contract. "All vows, obligations, oaths, and anathemas, whether called 'ḳonam,' 'ḳonas,' or by any other name, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next (whose happy coming we await), we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths. This they say is done for the Day of Atonement. However this is wrong. As God does not relieve anyone from a vow, or oath made to him", only of a woman if her husband says she will not do it at the time she made the vow. For It is written: You shall perform your vow, for good or for evil. Not fulfilling a vow/oath is taking His name in vain, as an oath is made in God's name. Therefor to claim absolution from a vow/oath is sin, and is not possible = This is one of the many things that the Jew has added to God's word. The Day of Atonement was at the end of the year in the 7th month, it was a day to afflict the soul, and offer a offering of fire for the sins of the entire house of Jacob-only. And on the year of Jubile- a trumpet was sounded to announce the year of Jubile and all DEBTS were forgiven all people, NOT VOWS - and servants - not slaves -where to be freed from servitude obligations, and house were returned to the borrowers, etc.
