The lullaby 'Her, mayn kind, vi vintn brumen' (Listen, my child, how winds roar) was written by an unknown author in the ghetto in Oshmen, a small shtetl near Vilna. As with many lullabies created during this period, this song turns the conventional lullaby model on its head: the child's father has been taken away and is not coming back, and the mother sings to her child about things he cannot understand, like families being torn apart, deportations, and the hardship and uncertainty of their existence.
