I will play this Thursday night onstage just before Anne Frank’s stepsister, Eva Schloss, appears to begin telling her story.

I will perform this beautiful melody on violin. The tune described as "a somber melody" was written during the Holocaust. The composer of the tune is unknown. According to legend, however, Reb Azriel David Fastag was divinely inspired to sing it on a train to Treblinka. A fellow captive jumped out of the train and escaped, eventually teaching the tune to the Modzitzer Rebbe, Rabbi Shaul Yedidya Elazar.
