Like most Yiddish expressions, this is Mediaeval Low German. In Modern German it would be spelled Ach! Gewalt! Gewalt is a word that means strength or force, But in this context means violence.
I see others referring to the Yiddish expression oy vay zmir. Again, in Modern German, Ach! Weh ist mir!, literally, oh, woe is [unto] me! In all 3 cases, the pronoun is in the Dative case, which usage has long since vanished in English, except in antique sayings such as this.Oy gevalt meaning & definition 3 of Oy gevalt.
