THE WALL AND A YIDDISH SONG

Recent news reports of using the cruel separation of small children from their families to promote the building of a wall at the U.S.-Mexican border brought to mind a Yiddish song called in "In dem Land fun Piramidn" (In the Land of Pyramids") which records the alleged practices of a cruel Pharaoh using children's bodies to build a wall when there were not enough bricks!

That in turn inspired the picture below.  The links in that screenshot below may not work, but these links are copied immediately below this link to Lori Cahan-Simon's moving performance of this song.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4VxcNl2HZI

("In dem Land fun Piramidn" and other songs for the Festival of Pesach, Passover, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt and encouraging efforts for an end of tyranny everywhere, are on Lori's recording available at:
