“We won a victory
Over the tyrant mean,
Sound trumpets, beat your drums,
And show us your esteem!
We won a victory,
Since we were not fearful,
Since we were not tearful,
Because we marched along
Singing our happy song,
Bright, joyful, and cheerful.”

This is me and Ela Stein Weissberger, a Holocaust survivor. It was taken after a production of Brundibár by Hans Krása. Ela was a child when she performed the part of the Cat in the “arts” concentration camp, Terezín.
