>in 1945. It is a BBC radio report made 5 days after the liberation of
>Bergen Belsen when the Jewish Chaplain of the British 2nd army, Rabbi
>Leslie Hardman, conducted a Shabbat service for the survivors. You've
>never heard anything like this.

>Save a copy so that your children and grandchildren might have a first
>hand copy of the voices of our survivors.
>Also, you will notice that some of the words of the Hatikvah sound
>different, this is the original version of Hatikvah which was updated when
>Israel was declared independent in 1948. Hatikvah was the original
>national anthem of the Jewish people before there was a nation to have an
>anthem for!
