Among the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust was one young woman named Hana Szenes. Already having emigrated from Hungary to the land of Israel, she volunteered to return as a parachutist and aid the British in a special operation to save her landsmen, Hungarian Jews, from deportation to death camps. Hana was caught, tortured, and executed by firing squad. She refused to give up any information to the Nazis. She was 23. This is her poem, A Walk in Caesarea, arranged and performed by The Shvesters accompanied by Omri Bar Giora on the guitar.
