During World War II, Jews of Lublin were rounded up by soldiers and taken to a field.
"Dance. Sing and dance for us," they were instructed.
No one sang, until one person began: "Lomir zikh iberbetn...." Let's all get along.
No one followed.
Another voice offered the same tune with different words: "Mir veln zey iberlebn." We will outlive them.
Our resistance song comes from that night.
It's not uncomplicated. So many of us did not, have not, outlived.
But this is a slogan of determination.
It's a love note to every person working to make the 'we' who will outlive them bigger and fuller and stronger.
together,
mir veln zey iberlebn. we will outlive them.
lomir zey iberlebn. let's outlive them.
mir hobn zey in drerd. they can go to hell. (lit: we'll have them in the earth)
