ANI MA’AMIN
(Hebrew + Translation)
Melody from Vishnietz, transmitted by Elie Wiesel, notated and arranged by Matthew Lazar Ani ma’amin
be’emuna shelema beviat hamashiach, ve’af al pi sheyitmahmeah, im kol zeh, ani ma’amin I believe with perfect faith in the Messiah’s coming, and even if he be delayed, despite all, I believe.
LU YEHI
(Hebrew + Translation)
Od yesh mifras lavan ba’ofek
mul anan shachor kaved
Kol shenevakesh - Lu Yehi.
Ve’im bacholonot ha’erev
Or nerot hachag ro’ed -
Kol shenevakesh - Lu Yehi.
Lu Yehi, Lu Yehi, Ana, Lu Yehi
Kol shenevakesh - Lu Yehi.
There is still a white sail on the horizon Opposite a heavy black cloud
All that we ask for - may it be
And if in the evening windows
The light of the holiday candles flickers
All that we seek - may it be
May it be, may it be - Please - may it be
All that we seek - may it be.
ELI, ELI
(Hebrew + Translation)
Eli, Eli
Shelo yigamer le’olam: Hachol vehayam
Rishrush shel hamayim
Berak hashamayim Tefilat ha’adam.
My God, My God May these never end, The sand and the sea, The rustle of the water, The lightning of the heavens, the prayer of Man.
EL MALEI RACHAMIM
(Hebrew)
El malei rachamim, shochayn bamromim, Hamtzei m’nuchah n’chonah
Al kanfei haSh’chinah-B’ma’alot k’doshim ut’horim, K’zohar harakiya mazhirim--
Et kol hanshamot shel shayshet mi’l’yonei ha’yehudim, Cha’l’lay hashoah b’eiropah, Shenehergu, shenishchatu, shenisrefu, v’shenispu al kidush Hasheim, Bi’y’dei hameratzchim hagermanim Hanatzim v’ozreihem mishar he’amim.

Adonai hu nachalatam, B’gan eiden t’hei m’nuchatam, V’ya’amdu l’goralam l’keitz ha’yamin. V’nomar Amen.
EL MALEI RACHAMIM
(English translation adapted from The Koren Sacks Siddur)
God, full of mercy, who dwells on high, grant fitting rest on the wings of the Divine Presence-in the heights of the holy and the pure, who shine like the radiance of heaven-for the souls of the six million Jews, victims of the Shoah in Europe, who were murdered, slaughtered, burned, and exterminated for the sanctification of the Name at the hands of the murderous German Nazis and their helpers from among the rest of the nations. Therefore, Master of compassion shelter them in the shadow of Your wings forever, and bind their souls in the bonds of everlasting life. The Lord is their heritage, may the Garden of Eden be their resting place, and may they receive their reward at the End of Days. Now let us say, Amen.
Jewish survivors of the Buchenwald Nazi Concentration Camp, some still in their camp clothing, stand on the deck of the refugee immigration ship Mataroa, on July 15, 1945 at Haifa port.
HATIKVAH
(Hebrew + Translation)
Kol od ba’le’vav p’nima, Nefesh Yehudi ho’miyah.
U’lefa-atei mizrach kadimah, Ayin le’Tziyyon tzofiyah.
Od lo avda tikva-teinu,
Ha’tikvah bat sh’not al-payim Lih-yot am chofshi b’ar-tzeinu Eretz Tziyyon v’Yerushalayim.
As long as within our hearts
The Jewish soul yearns, As long as forward to the East
To Zion, looks the eye — Our hope is not yet lost, The hope that is two thousand years old, To be a free people in our land, The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
SURVIVORS LOST

IN TRIBUTE
We remember those lost in the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel perpetrated by the Hamas terrorist group – the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. We pray for the safe return of those still being held hostage by Hamas. We grieve for innocent civilians who have been tragically caught up in the devastation of war and the ongoing conflicts in the region. We know that a world without a strong Israel is a world unsafe for Jews.
Since the attacks, the explosion worldwide and here at home of antisemitism reminds us that hatred of Jews is always just beneath the surface in our society. Antisemitism neither began nor ended with the Holocaust. It is the world’s longest hatred, and we fear it will never be eradicated. Yet we remain committed to standing up against antisemitism through educating future generations about its dangers.

At the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, “Generations” is the term we use to refer to individuals who are descendants of Holocaust victims, survivors, refugees, hidden children, and Kindertransportees. Those in Generations have a family member who was targeted and persecuted by Nazi Germany and their collaborators between 1933-1945.
Generations include children, grandchildren, and all other descendants of Holocaust survivors and victims. If you are a part of this group, we invite you to connect with us!
We want to provide opportunities to engage with us through volunteering, public programs, events, and membership.
