WALTHAM, Mass. (JTA)
— An anthology of Yiddish
poems both by Jews who
perished in Nazi death
camps and Jewish partisans
who fought the Nazis, along
with English translations,
has been published by
Brandeis University under
the title of "And They Will
Call Me."
It was compiled and
translations made during
the 1979-1980 academic
year by three under-
graduate and three
graduate students, fluent in
Yiddish and students of
Yiddish literature. They
were assisted by Joshua
Rothenberg, assistant pro-
fessor of Near Eastern and
Judaic Studies.
In the first three sections
of the four-section anthol-
ogy are poems written by
men and women in the ghet-
tos, in the death camps and
among the armed resistance
fighters. Many of the poems
were gathered by Shmerke
Kacherginsky, a Yiddish
writer who was a partisan
fighter, immediately after
the war.

In some instances, they
were obtained directly
from Jews still waiting in
Displaced Persons
Camps. The final section
contains poems of recog-
nized Yiddish poets
which were written after
the war.

Rothenberg said that, in
deciding which poems to in-
clude in the anthology, the
students placed more im-
portance on getting a cross-
section of responses and
emotions than on the poetic
value of a single poem. He
added that, while the scope
of the published material
had to be limited, he and the
students believe the collec-
tion is a valuable means to
study and understand the
unparalleled destruction of
six million Jews.
Rothenberg explained
that "the victims of the
Holocaust did not leave
written wills, but from
scribbled messages on the
walls of the chambers of
death and from what they
told those who survived, we
know that their unwritten
will was 'Remember us, re-
member what we did and
what was done to us.' Hand-
ing down to us their
thoughts, feelings and emo-
tions expressed in poetry is
part of that testament."
He said the six students
tried to provide the fullest
possible portrayal of the re-
sponses to the Holocaust of
its victims. There had been
different experiences — for
Jews in the ghettos, in the
camps, in factories, for those
hidden with Christian
families.

One of the students
said the wide range of re-
sponses reflected in the
poems belies the
stereotypical notions
often associated with the
Jewish victims.

He asserted that the
image of the passive victims
as well as that of the un-
compromising partisans

were simply the extremes of
a continuum comprising
millions who, with fear and
defiance, anger and faith,
tried to answer one ques-
tion: "Why?"
