Peter Handberg skriver i sin nya bok om när Leonard Cohens sång spelas upp vid en ceremoni 2022 i Pilvishok, till åminnelse av den siste rabbinen Avraham Aba Reznik och de andra offren; "Stora högtalare är utplacerade. Från dem strömmar, helt logiskt i sammanhanget, Leonard Cohens Dance Me To The End
Of Love - en sång om kärlek men med utgångspunkt i Förintelsen."

Leonard Cohen: Dance Me To The End Of Love - Arose from photo of Death Camp Musicians
“This is a song that arose from a photograph that I saw when I was a child of some people in striped pyjamas prison uniforms with violins playing beside a smoke stack and the smoke was made out of gypsies and children, and this song arose out of that photograph: Dance Me To The End Of Love.”
From Leonard Cohen’s introduction to Dance Me To The
End Of Love
at the April 10, 1988
Koln concert.
