Notes
Head of the Hebrew school of Tarbut. "There was nothing more tragic and at the same time more estimable than the sight of the teacher from our city, Yehuda Kogut, standing with hundreds of his students on this death train. Under his guidance, they sang 'Hatikvah' (hope), a song that later became the national anthem of Israel."
