The melancholy cello tune at the beginning represents the hardships that the Jews had to endure. Then the flute plays a melody in a major key that sounds sweet. This gives the idea that hope is still there. However then the cello tune comes back and you are reminded again that the Jews didn't have much hope. There is a section of trills which crescendo and this symbolises how life is getting worse and worse. Suddenly there is a loud chord and a crash on the symbols and this represents when they decided to start killing the Jews. In the next section there are lots of loud fast notes and this represents life in the concentration camps. The flute comes back with a sad melody and this is acknowledging the deaths. The sad tune is a memorial to all those who died. After this, the cello melody from the start returns and this rounds of the piece and concludes that the holocaust was a terrible event for the Jews.
