Music - Percy Haid, Recording by USHMM Washington DC. This tango was written in the Kovno Ghetto by Percy Haid. Haid was born in Riga and was a famous pianist in Pre-war Lithuania . In the Ghetto Orchestra he was responsible for the orchestration and adaptation of many songs to the right format. He also composed original music which was played many times in the Ghetto concerts. Haid survived the ghetto and Dachau, and emigrated to Chicago, where he continued his musical carreer. The photos here were mostly taken by Hirsch Kadushin, the Kovno ghetto photographer. The first frame depicts the Hofmekler Band in Pre-war Kaunas, and the last one, of the 9th fort memorial, was taken by me. May this clip commemorate the brave people who were imprisoned in the Kovno Ghetto, and the wonderful music they managed to play during their incarceration. חיבר - פרסי הייד מחברי התזמורת בגטו קובנה צילומים - אלמוני, הירש קדושין צלם הגטו, רמי נוידרפר

Shmuel Daitch Ben Menachem was born in Kovno, Lithuania, in 1924, to a religious family. With the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the family was deported with the rest of the Jews of Kovno into the ghetto in the Slobodka neighborhood. In October 1941, Shmuel's parents and older brother were murdered in the Ninth Fort in Kovno. Surviving the selection with his younger brother and sister, Shmuel joined the Zionist ABC Youth Movement in the ghetto, becoming a member of the underground. He eventually fled the ghetto and joined the Zionist partisans, living in the forest and helping Jews escape from the ghetto. Wounded during a Lithuanian ambush, Shmuel managed to escape and remained hidden in the forest until liberation by the Soviet army. Immigrating to Eretz Israel after the war, Shmuel participated in Israel's War of Independence in the "Shimshon Foxes" battalion.

Born (on 20 March 1928) and raised in Kaunas (Kovno), Nisn Krakinovsky (Nissan Krakinowski) lived through the Kovno Ghetto until its liquidation, when he was sent to various concentration camps. He recalls his happy childhood in the city, as well as the bestial brutality of the white-armbanded "LAF" nationalists in June 1941 (when the Soviet army fled Hitler's impending attack), many of them 17, 18 or 19 years old, even before the Germans took over. He concludes by telling us about his present-day interactions with young Satmar hasidic boys in Brooklyn whom he sees on a daily basis at daily morning prayers.

Uri Chanoch, born in Kovno (Kaunas) in March 1928, recalls 22 June 1941 in Palanga (older Yiddish name: Palónge). It was near the German border and Nazi forces entered early on the 22nd. Local 'patriotic' white-armbanders segregated out the Jewish children at his summer camp, took them to a barn and then a synagogue where they were incarcerated and humiliated and forced to throw Torah scrolls and sacred books into a fire. Unlike other Palanga Jews and the children who hailed from the town itself, he was among a group of children evacuated to Kaunas (thanks to a Red Cross contact). On the gruesome fate of Palanga's Jews see e.g. http://www.iajgsjewishcemeteryproject.org//lithuania/palanga.html). He later survived the Kovno Ghetto and concentration camps including Dachau. From an interview in Tel Aviv, 5 November 2011.

Uri Chanoch was 13 when he was forced to move with his family into the Kovno ghetto. Recruited into the underground movement in order to steal vital work permits, Uri was severely beaten by the Germans for refusing to divulge the hiding place of his younger brother. With the liquidation of the ghetto in July 1944, Uri and his family were deported to Germany. Losing his mother, father and sister in the Holocaust, Uri survived Dachau and Auschwitz. Escaping from a blown up transport and hiding in the forest until liberation by American soldiers, Uri was later reunited with his brother Dani, and the two immigrated to Israel in 1946. Uri was recruited into the Palmach and participated in the battles for Jerusalem, later becoming an officer in the IDF. He was an active industrialist and is engaged in public service.

Born in 1930 in Kaunas, Lithuania, Kalman Perk was deported with his family to the Kovno ghetto in 1941. Hiding in a cellar in July 1944 to escape the impending liquidation of the ghetto, the family was forced to abandon their hiding place due to German-ignited fires in the ghetto. They were then loaded onto a cattle car and deported to the concentration camps. Convinced by his parents that he must escape, Kalman jumped out the window of the moving train and fled eastward into Russia. Kalman adopted the last words his father spoke to him before escaping from the train, "Be a decent person", as the guiding principle of his life.
