An orchestral version of Requiem composed after the poem by Holocaust poet Itzhak Katzenelson 'The Song of the Murdered Jewish People', describing the extermination of the Jewish life in Warsaw.

Zlata Razdolina Composer, Moravska Philharmonic Orchestra, Victor Feldbrill - Conductor.

The work which lasts nearly an hour, is comprised of scores for large orchestra, choir and a soloist (cantor), to be sung with the Hebrew words of the poem written by the Holocaust poet Itzhack Katzenelson.

'The Song of the Murdered Jewish People', was written during the poet's detention in a transportation camp, Vitel-France, before he was deported to Auschwitz. The poem was buried in Vitel's soil where it was unearthed at the end of the war and was brought to a Museum on the Kibbutz "The Ghetto Fighters" which is called after him.

The poem - a story of the Warsaw Ghetto - was written originally in Yiddish and has now been translated into many languages, including English, German, Hebrew, and Russian. To view the words to the poem, click here.
