I think this is Yiddish and means "King of Death," but I would like this confirmed and would like more information. The context I originally read it in was in a fictional book about nuclear war. It was said by an air traffic controller on an Air Force base as they were launching B-52 bombers for an attack on Russia. I also believe the guy saying it knew time was running out and they were about to be killed in the the first strike.
