Shtil, di nakht iz oysgeshternt

"Shtil, di nakht iz oysgeshternt"[1] ("Quiet, the Night is Full of Stars"; Yiddish: שטיל, די נאַכט איז אױסגעשטערנט)[2] or "Partizaner lid" ("Partisan Song")[3] is a Yiddish song written in summer 1942 by Hirsh Glick, a young Jewish inmate of the Vilna Ghetto.

[3] It is a love song that starts with conventional lyrics about a quiet night and sky full of stars, but quickly turns to the realities of war.

[5] The song celebrates Vitka Kempner, a Jewish partisan, and her successful attack, an act of sabotage, on a German train in the Vilnius sector.

[1] It was the first attack by the Fareynikte Partizaner Organizatsye (FPO), organization of Jewish partisans from the Vilna Ghetto.

[7] It appears on Pete Seeger's We Shall Overcome - The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert., recorded June 8, 1963, under the title Schtille Di Nacht in listings.
