Work won’t set you free? Then dance, uhh!!! Jewish community are outraged after a Melbourne family filmed themselves dancing to the pop song ‘I will Survive’ while on a trip to Auschwitz. The YouTube clip is the work of a Melbourne artist who claims her work is a celebration of life.
Jane Korman filmed three generations of her family, including her father, a holocaust survivor, dancing and singing outside the Nazi death camp….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUvo5OHH6o8 (Parts 1 -3)
As many as 1.1 million people were murdered there by the Nazis in World War II. The video also shows the family dancing at a Polish synagogue, the German concentration camp at Dachau, the Czech concentration camp at Theresienstadt and at a Polish memorial to the victims of the Nazi ghetto.
The video ends with Korman’s emotional 89-year-old father Adolk describing his return to Poland with his three grandchildren as “a really historic moment” http://www.news.com.au/national/outrage-over-melbourne-artist-jane-kormans-i-will-survive-dance-at-polish-death-camp/story-e6frfkvr-1225891392172
jewish artist defends YouTube video ‘Dancing Auschwitz’
Jewish Australian artist Jane Korman created video installation of her family dancing in front of Holocaust landmarks to show different point of view.
The clip depicted the Korman family dancing in front of Holocaust land marks in Poland, including infamous entrance sign to Auschwitz death camp reading “Arbeit Macht Frei,” a Polish synagogue, Dachau, Theresienstadt, and a memorial in Lodz.
Her father at one point in the clip even wore a shirt on which the word “Survivor” was written….. http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-artist-defends-youtube-video-dancing-auschwitz-1.301096
Storm as Australian artist Jane Korman dances at Nazi death camp – “I wanted to make artwork that creates a fresh interpretation of historical memory,” Ms Korman said. “He [her father] is saying ‘we’re dancing, we should be dancing, we’re celebrating our survival and the generations after me. We are affirming our existence’.”
But the video – which was also displayed in an Australian art gallery – has been met with anger by some Holocaust survivors and has been picked up and exploited by neo-Nazi websites.
“I don’t see how this video is a mark of respect for the millions who didn’t survive, nor for those who did,” Kamil Cwiok, 86, told The Daily Mail. “It seems to trivialise the horrors that were committed there.”
NSW Jewish Board of Deputies CEO Vic Alhadeff said there was a time and place to celebrate survival.
“As human beings, we have a right to celebrate survival, but there is a time and place to do so,” he said.
“There is an infinite number of ways to do that, but we need to consider the sensibilities of those for whom places such as Auschwitz will always hold terrible pain and indelible memories . . Auschwitz is one of the world’s largest cemeteries…” http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/storm-as-australian-artist-jane-korman-dances-at-nazi-death-camp/story-e6freuy9-1225891333081

A YouTube video showing a Holocaust survivor and members of his family dancing to “I Will Survive” at concentration camps and Nazi-related sites in Europe is sparking international outrage….. http://www.torontosun.com/news/world/2010/07/13/14697401.html
The video is available on YouTube, and formed part of a series of three videos and a photographic exhibition shown at Monash University’s Runt Gallery last year titled Dancing Auschwitz….. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/7928701/auschwitz-dance-video-causes-outrage

Where can I go? Lyrics:
1949
Performer Leo Fuld
Title Where can I go
Lyrictext
Wi ahin Zol ich Gein?
Wer can entfern mir
Wi ahin Zol ich Gein?
Fur es sloss jeder tuhr
Siehe auf links, siehe auf rechts
Au te soll im jedem Land
As wi ahin Zol ich Gein?
Tell me, where can I go?
There’s no place I can see.
Where to go, where to go?
Every door is closed for me.
To the left, to the right,
It’s the same in every land.
There is nowhere to go
And it’s me who should know,
Won’t you please understand?
Now I know where to go,
Where my folk proudly stand.
Let me go, let me go
To that precious promised land.
No more left no more right.
Lift your head and see the light.
I am proud, can’t you see,
For at last I am free:
No more wandering for me.
A memory from the internet:
“There is a song — and a question — that haunts me from childhood: ‘Vi Ahin Soll Ich Geh’n?’ (’Where Can I Go?’). Some time in the 1940s (probably around 1948 when the State of Israel came into existence) Leo Fuld, the ‘King of Yiddish Music’, recorded the song in Yiddish and English. We frequently played the record, an old 78 rpm, at our North London home. My mother would sing it with feeling, as if its questions were hers and its answer an answer to her prayers. To the best of my (and her) recollection, the English version of the first verse was as follows:
Tell me, Where can I go?
There’s no place I can see.
Where to go, where to go?
Every door is closed to me.
To the left, to the right,
It’s the same in every land.
There is nowhere to go
And it’s me who should know,
Won’t you please understand?
Even without the soulful melody, these despairing words ring in my ears; when sung they go straight to the heart. As a young child, the first verse seemed to me as melancholy as Kol Nidre — the solemn supplication that opens the evening service on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement — but less obscure. Here was a person in a nightmare: lost, shut out, cut off, set apart, a voice crying in the wilderness. I was a child and I understood crying. I understood lost as well. ‘Won’t you please understand?’ Oh, but I did, to the core. But where to go, where to go? The song itself supplies the answer, expressed in the jubilant second verse:
Now I know where to go,
Where my folk proudly stand.
Let me go, let me go
To that precious promised land.
No more left no more right.
Lift your head and see the light.
I am proud, can’t you see,
For at last I am free:
No more
wandering for me
