Tsum besern morgn
'Tsum besern morgn' (Toward a better tomorrow) was written by Kasriel Broydo, one of the Vilna ghetto theatre's most popular and prolific writers. Although Broydo did not belong to a resistance organisation, some of his songs – including this one – show clear sympathy for the partisans' cause. The rousing and encouraging lyrics urge ghetto inmates to 'stride further, always ever on!', even when prospects look bleak.
