Children... constitute man's eternity. - Itzhak Peretz

A people's memory is history; and as a man without a memory, so a people without a history cannot grow wiser, better.

Yiddish, the language which will ever bear witness to the violence and murder inflicted on us, bear the marks of our expulsions from land to land, the language which absorbed the wails of the fathers, the laments of the generations, the poison and bitterness of history, the language whose precious jewels are the undried, uncongealed Jewish tears.

A letter depends on how you read it, a melody on how you sing it.
