[HANASHIR:5720] Eili Eili and Dona Dona

[Susan Schanerman <sschanerman.dvh...>]

I want to give our adult choir some background on Eili Eili and Dona
Dona.  I believe that Hannah Senesch wrote the words to Eili Eili while
she was living in Israel.  Anyone know more than that about the lyrics
and melody?  And I read somewhere that the words "dona dona" are like
"la la" in some eastern european language but that's all I know about
that song.  Was it written about the Holocaust?
