Story Behind the Song
Kim André Arnesen composed this choral setting in 2011 using a brief anonymous text often said to have been found written on a wall in Europe during World War II. The words have commonly been associated with the Holocaust and express faith persisting amid suffering and divine silence. The piece is a modern concert choral work rather than a traditional congregational hymn.
