In Tribute to Alain Lefevre, Quebec-World acclaimed composer and pianist, who by his musical composition, “Lylatov”, immortalized a victim of the Holocaust, the young son of the Jewish family with whom he lived during his Conservatory studies in Paris.
A child is tortured
In the kingdom of the night
Of the Holocaust.
A piano is heard.
The child asks, “what is that”?
Schubert, he is told.
A tear drops gently
To caress the lonely face
Of the serene child.
“Why is it you cry”?
The S.S. torturer asks:
“I long for music
I will not hear.”
