Inspiration
“I am what they call a third or debatably second generation of Holocaust survivor.
My father was born to two holocaust and Auschwitz survivors in 1946. My family endured horrific torture, lost countless family members including young children and still suffers from trauma.
I read Malleh’s heroic story and couldn’t believe this brave & courageous woman never had a dedication. Malleh was a music teacher who when captured by the Nazi’s led a revolution in Aushwitz concentration camp.
Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) is not just Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), we have Tisha B’av (the collective day of morning for tragedy) for that. This is Yom ‘Hashoah v’Ligvurah’, ‘Holocaust Remembrance Day for Might’, chosen to be commemorated on the day marking the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. Celebrating our strength and resistance as a people not only to survive but to thrive and to stand up for what we believe in.
To release another sad violin holocaust song would add no nuance to the world. It would simply be another holocaust documentary. This is your Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds holocaust song.
As quoted in the full story in the attached press release, the assembled crowd shouted Malleh’s name twice, “Malleh Malleh” upon her arrival back to Auschwitz after being turned in to the Nazi’s by Poland where Malleh was hiding. The double call of Malleh’s name reverberated in my head which eventually became the chorus of the song. I heard a rebellious Michael Jackson attitude like beat in my head but when I brought the tune to Boaz Van De Beatz, a Bachata, almost Reggaeton track was born. With the help of Bachata dancer Stav Machbush who would later star in the music video, a proper Bachata arrangement was put in place and hence Malleh was reborn.”

Lyrics
She’s all alone in the basement
She’s got a candle and it’s burning alright
She’s got a pearl and it’s aching
Taken on a truck in the middle a night
She knows all the rules
She can find the love
She can find the love
She can find prayer
Oh prayer
She got the bad behavior
She fought for water on the human train
She never loved the thought of all the pain
Malleh
Malleh
Malleh
Malleh
She dialed in for a favor
Smuggled out explosives in the middle of night
Snuck out of the camp left a paper
Gotta the world what they’re doing to us
She broke all the rules
Bring her in alive
Bring her in alive
She took a razor
Praise Her
She used the bad behavior
She smacked the kapo in the face
To stop the cruelty of the human race
Malleh
Malleh
Malleh
Malleh
