Every year on Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) I post this song written by a Jewish American rapper named Remedy of the Wu-Tang Clan from 2000. His family were in the holocaust so he wrote this very powerful song.

This is the first year where by I decided to not show the imagery of the Holocaust in the song, only the words he wrote so you can focus on it. I created this video with the English lyrics embedded. Best viewed in full screen.

Never Again!

Don't forget to listen to this powerful song written about the Holocaust!

How can someone do something so heartless? To murder a mother and child like this! I cannot understand it.

Just moments ago the Yom HaShoah memorial siren was sounded across the country.

I never had any family in the Holocaust but I cry my heart out as they were all my family.

This is a Kiddush Hashem.

A Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) man recited the Shema prayer and other prayers out loud during the Holocaust memorial siren in Jerusalem today.

This is actually the right thing to do as Jews standing in silence isn't a Jewish concept, it is a European one (no offense). During any memorial moment we are supposed to recite prayers or words of Tehillim (Psalms) but the country hasn't been educated with this as the siren was based on a European concept not a Jewish one.

All Jews during the siren should recite some prayer, personal prayers, whatever, or even just say words. It doesn't mean people who stand in silence are wrong, they are not but it's actually more Jewish and more appropriate to recite prayers at this time (even if not religious).
