O.76.2 - Songs/Poems mostly written by Holocaust survivors
 
 Most of the songs and poems gathered in this Sub-Records Group were written by Holocaust survivors in various languages, mainly during the Holocaust period and afterwards. A small number of the songs and poems were written by Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Many poems describe experiences and events from the Holocaust period, as well as longings for home and the people from whom they were forced to part. Some of the poems that were written after the Holocaust are dedicated to the memory of family members, friends and acquaintances who perished.
 
 In this Records Group there is also a collection of songs written during the Holocaust period which were sung at various times in the ghettos and camps, as well as songs/poems written by the children of Holocaust survivors after the Holocaust.
