Choir sings Hannah Szenes poem
The Ankor girls choir stands in the hall, solemnly singing a poem by Hannah Szenes, a Hungarian girl who escaped Budapest for Israel, then returned to Europe to rescue Jews before she was captured and killed.
The haunting music gives the ceremony an otherworldly feel.
The choir was also on hand in 2009 for pope Benedict’s visit to Yad Vashem.
