OLD JEWISH POLESYE 

Židovská kultura a poznání, to je tak nádherné, obsahuje skutecnou podstatu života, držte se statečný národe, Bůh Vám žehnej

I'm Romany Gypsy. My people died with yours. Thank you for your beautiful work. Truth is beauty.

I'm not Ashkenazi, but, who couldn't appreciate this beautiful voice and so very touching film?. Thank you, whoever did this.

I am a Jew from Ukraine, I live in Poland. Beautiful song

I'm not Jewish, but I like old songs, including Jiddish songs very much. I enjoy Olga's delicate melancholiic interpretations...

I have ashkenazian roots and I‘ m sad and lucky at same time, if I hear this song

I'm Jewish my grandmother on my mother's side came from poland.I noticed in one of the photos a baby in a little bassinet that had a rope going to the ceiling.My mother told me that her mother was in such a bassinet as a baby and the rope had accidently broke which affected injured her and made it hard for her to walk.Years later she had a surgery which helped a lot.So interesting to see these old photos it connects me to my families past.

I have both Roma and Russian Jewish in my background - there is an untold story of union between these peoples even before they were murdered together in the camps. I am automatically drawn to this beautiful ,music

Piękna pieśń oraz i wykonanie wspomnienia młodych lat Shalom

I met a friend 50 years ago who walked from Poland at the end of 1939 to Odessa ,his parents murdered by the nazis.At 16 years old he arrived in Egypt and joined the British army saying he was 18! He fought the germans and obtained the british nationality. Rest in pace Alex!

Thank you for sharing this part of European history with us.

Hauntingly beautiful, poignant and sad.. Love her Yiddishkeit... My people were Russian, Polish-Austrian. Love music of my people; I have been, and always will be connected to the Jewish soul.

What a great pleasure to hear this, a lost world indeed.With thanks and love from Israel.

There was a bishop, Kazimierz Bukraba. He helped Jews a lot, and they blessed him in their prayer.

Hi. I live in Brest (Brisk in Yiddish) now, and visit Czarnawczyce very offen. But I never heard about Mariam Nirenberg. Also like other habitants of Czarnawczyce. We Belarusians remember about our lost neighbors Jews and Polishs and their cultures. Thank you for this video. Not far from Czarnaczyce is placed little town Kamianiets (Kamieniec), discribed by Yehezkel Kotik in his literature.

Mariam Nirenberg is Jewish folk singer born in Polesye before the war, I'm preparing album with her old forgotten Yiddish songs. Hanukkah sameach!

A lost world, but at least it isn't forgotten. Thank you very much for this film.

Sending greetings to a lost world - thanks for keeping alive in songs.

To bardzo poruszająca muzyka z miłością.

THANK-YOU FOR KEEPING US ALIVE! YOUR WORK IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL. ✡️

Le note di questo canto ebraico sono di un delicatezza incantevole insuperabile e rimuovono nella mia coscienza sensazioni di estrema delicatezza. Ho conosciuto gli ebrei veneziani e sono stato a fianco di Fred Zinneman come suo consulente, grande regista internazionale...... 22 dicembre 2019 CARNIER PIER ARRIGO

Beautiful music and sentiment! One note - Chaim Weizmann (my cousin) was originally from Motol, a town near Pinsk.

OLD JEWISH POLESYE!!!!Great singing !!!

Great record. Shalom from Australia 🇦🇺. :) ^^ 😀

Thank you so much for your great work in keeping these songs and traditions alive!!!!! This is by far the best way to honor the dead, to attempt to repair the irreparable damage and waste laid on by human hatred and ignorance. It is not only beautiful to be able to hear these melodies still, it is a crucial endeavor, for all of humanity.

reminds me of songs that my grandmother used to sing. thank you for helping keep this music alive

I enjoyed this ballad very much, especially the singing of Mariam Nirenberg!

I am NOT Jewish. I am Bulgarian. We refused the Reich to send innocent people to their Conzlager. Ours have names at Yad Vashem. We refuse all worthless dictators. Slihah. Le chaim.

Hola!! Me llamo dámaris y me encanta esta musica, soy de Guadalajara, en México, mi bisabuela era de los altos jalisco y ahí la mayoría de la gente eran judíos, lo supe ya de adulta pero desde la primera ves que escuché esta musica sentí algo en mi, para mi sorpresa investigando la historia de mi bisabuela y de donde eran descubrí por que, saludos desde mexico!!!💕

Dad came from Yugoslavia but thank God we made to America

A melancholy beauty permeates throughout....

Bittersweet, beautiful...thank you.

*Hauntingly beautiful and deeply moving!* 🎶💜🎶

Infiniment touchée, émue par ces souvenirs de Pologne, cette belle musique comme une berceuse Je ne suis pas juive mais mon âme l’est Bravo Josiane

The wonders of film and public Video archives allow us to enter a time capsule that's almost mind blowing in its scope.

An eye onto a lost world...

Listening to the this Angelic Sounds From Los Angeles California Stay safe be well

There is no love greater to man than to stay connected with one's culture. This subject unites us with the maker of the universe. We can't have one without the other. The pictures remind me of the movie Fiddler on the Roof. I am Jewish through my spirit. Keep up the good work. Shalom.

So schön ! Berührend ! Danke vielmals !

What a beautiful voice. A beautiful song too.

Very touching, both sephardic and ashkenazi songs

In Memoria dell ebraismo polacco...Grazie per l emozione

26thJuly2020.....love this beautiful song.💝from Singapore

Very interesting, my Mothers last name was Nerenberg, and they came from Latvia, and later from Kiev. I wonder if we were related? My Fathers family was both from Kiev and Poland. Thanks for this beautiful video!

Dziekuje za te piekne obrazy i piesn od serca. Szolem alejchem

Спасибо за видео и за память!

Thank you Olga, you're doing a great work, preserving some pieces of what we sometimes call "There once was a World".

....my heart goes out to them with all my love and prayers....

Very nice. Thanks for sharing the history of Poland.

Beautiful song, beautiful singing. Thank you.

Melodija je toliko setna i divna.Rijeci ne razumjem ali se osjeca bol i tuga .Sigurno za Izraelom.🇮🇱💔💖🌺😪😪😪🙏

I'm Palestinian and I have a good taste for Jewish music, which was for centuries part of the Palestinian musical heritage before Israel came to be, when Jews lived in Palestine alongside Christians and Muslims as one people.

Prostě nádherné, nostalgické, krásné, dekuji, Thomas Karl 🇨🇿

Thats all I think about these days how the Jews people were mistreated, but yet they stand up and be counted and very proud. I fully understand that this nation is HaShem's favourite nation, very special people. Thanks for this beautiful video.

Какая прекрасная музыка! С любовью из России.

Coz to za glos, cudowny, czysty, anielski wprost !

Olga, I` m on my knees! Wonderful !Toda raba!

P. Olgo gratulacje. Bardzo piękna muzyka i animacje. Jak to dobrze że są ludzie którzy przekazuje następnym pokoleniom to piękno niezależne od narodowości, poglądów politycznych czy religii. Bo to jest dziedzictwo LUDZI .

WONDERFUL!!!Love it !!!!

Hauntingly beautiful, thank you.

Это видео супер! Браво 🌹🌹🌹

Your videos are cultural treasures themselves!

No words can describe the haunting beauty and sadness of the song and the singer. Countless voices silenced embrace the song. The brutality and cruelty of the Nazis is beyond me.

I will love to lear the lyrics of this song

Une voix et une musique aussi magnifiques q un diamant que rien ne peut détruire pas même le feu de la guerre. Une oeuvre de pur génie rendant la petite Sarah éternelle.

heart rending and moving, everlasting

Fun fact:I’m related to him. Also this is my favorite rendition of this prayer.

Я с бывшего еврейского местечка Борковичи, Беларусь, там жил прототип Тевье Молочник а. 💔🙏

This is so beautiful and haunting. It’s like a visit with generations of my family.

Душа плачет о всех!

Well done and interesting video with a lovely tune. I don't know if you'll read this, but thank you and good job!

Wow my Mother’s maiden name was Nerenberg. They came from Russia. Kiev was the last city they lived in before they went to UK, and then America. They had to stay in England for two years before they were able to come to America because of the Jewish quota system!! Thanks you so much for this wonderful video!! It is greatly appreciated!! 🔯

What a fascinating world we live in...

Kaunista musiikkia.

Rakkaat ihmiset, mielestäni musiikki on niin yhdistävä tekijä ihmisten välillä, enemmän kuin kieli, musiikki yhdistää ja sitoo ilman sanoja.

My soul vibrates and cries from the unspeakable, being transformed into music.

Beautiful! Many thanks!

Tsvishn di berg, di grine, shtromt a vaser zeyer tif, in dortn zenen fish milyonen, in zey shvimen dort arim.

"Er hot mir tsigezugt goldene berg, in goldene shleser - er hot mikh upgekoylet un a shverd, in un a meser!"

One important thing: the light always will survive

Muy instructivos los textos en inglés. Bellísimo tema. Interesantes fotografías. Gracias.

Горе горе ... Жестокость и ненависть в людях это самое страшное. Будьте добрые , народ

Another ethnic and religious group in Polesie were Tatars (Muslims!) Whose descendents still live in Polesie, Podlasie and Lubelszczyzna! Our ancestors

This was so beautiful yet sad. War does nothing but destroys. I often wonder what this world would be like if it wasn’t for greed. People wanting so much control no matters whose blood they shed. It’s heartbreaking.

If this music doesn't make you think of GOD, then all l have to say is...your seriously missing out BIG TIME !!!!!! BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL. PEACE.

My family is from David Horodok which is in this region of Belarus.

Incredible!

Very moving. Tragic that so many innocent people were murdered by the Nazi's.
