Vilne, Vilne

The song 'Vilne, Vilne' was written in the early 1930s by A. L. Wolfson, to music by Alexander Olshanetsky. The song is a heartfelt tribute to the city of Vilna, a centre of Jewish cultural and intellectual life widely known in the Jewish world as the 'Jerusalem of Lithuania'. It was frequently performed in the Vilna ghetto during the Nazi occupation.
