“As long as we can breathe, as long as we can open our mouths, we can’t ever stop singing.”
Award-winning historian and tour guide Yehuda Geberer delivers a poignant tribute at Berlin’s “Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe,” invoking the timeless words of Rav Meir Alter of Ger. Rav Meir, a descendant of the illustrious Gerrer dynasty, was among the millions who perished in the Holocaust, yet his words resonate as a testament to the Jewish people’s resilience and faith.
The memorial, located in the heart of Berlin, stands as a stark and solemn reminder of the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. Its 2,711 concrete slabs, arranged in a grid pattern, create an unsettling labyrinth, symbolizing the void left by the destruction of European Jewry. It is a space of reflection, mourning, and memory—a place that challenges visitors to confront the atrocities of the past.
Set against this evocative backdrop, Geberer’s words and the stirring music of Mordechai Levovitz transform the memorial into a space of spiritual defiance. The tribute reflects not only the profound loss but also the unbreakable spirit of Am Yisrael, declaring that even amidst the darkest chapters of history, the Jewish song of hope and faith endures.
