Unto every person there is a name
Bestowed upon him by God
And given him by his father and mother
Unto every person there is a name
Accorded him by his stature
And the manner of his smile
And given him by his style of dress
Unto every person there is a name
Conferred on him by the mountains
And given him by his neighbors
Unto every person there is a name
Assigned him by his sins
And given him by his yearnings
Unto every person there is a name
Given him by his enemies
And given him by his love
Unto every person there is a name
Derived from his festivals
And given him by his labor
Unto every person there is a name
Presented him by the seasons
And given him by his blindness
Unto every person there is a name
Bestowed on him by the sea
And given him by his death.
Today is Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day).
