Violin of Mordechai (Motale) Shlain, who belonged to the Diadia Misha partisan unit in the Volhynia forests. The songs presented here were sung by the partisans of the Vilna ghetto. Three of them were based on Russian melodies. The song of Itsik Vitenberg was written and sung by Shmerke Kaczerginski. While their songs included Jewish folk elements, the songs’ main character was based on ideological texts and a simple musical style – symmetrical melodies, tuneful short phrases and marching rhythms. Some songs of the Vilna ghetto partisan, like Zog Nit Keyn Mol and Itsik Vitnberg, adapted these Soviet melodies, while others were composed in a similar style. Kaczerginski’s songs served as battle hymns, rousing young partisans to go out to battle. The songs described the events in the ghetto and the actions of the partisans.
