While in West Germany preparing for her performance in the Eurovision Song Contest, Ofra and the rest of the Israeli group visited Dachau, the extermination camp of the Nazis. She met there an elderly Jewish couple from Israel who survived the Holocaust. “Are you Ofra Haza?“ asked the husband. “I was a prisoner in this concentration camp and today I came here to visit for the first time since I was freed. We heard your song. On Saturday evening when you sing this song to all of Europe, remember what you see now.“ Ofra promised to remember. Ofra and her group also visited the Olympic Village in Munich, where 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were slain during the 1972 Summer Olympics. Shim’u echai Ani od chai Ushtei einai od nisa’ot la&#
