Identifier: CC-51610-72709
Scope and Contents

Jack Hirschman contriburtes an introductory essay describing Glik's poems and songs as personifying the creed of Partisans against Nazism particularly in Vilna , Lithuania. "When the news of the Waqrsaw Ghetto uprising reached the Vilna ghetto, it inspired Hirsh to write his famous song-poem "Zog Nit Keynmor (Don't Ever Say)"... In a short time and with amazing speed, Hirsh Glik's song became the anthem of the Resistance: It swept through the ghettos and camps and became known as "the Song of the Partisans." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Margolies gave Dr. Sackner several of his prints from the period and planned to donate his entire Archive to Sackner but shortly prior to getting everything together, a fire broke out in his studio and destroyed all his works that were stored there.
