[HANASHIR:8776] Re: Yom HaShoah

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

Friends - I would like to do a music program at my day school about the
music that evolved out of the Holocaust.... Besides the yiddish tunes that
we have been getting ready (March of the Partisans, My Town is Burning,
etc.) I'm particularly interested in instrumental ensembles (not the ones in
the camps per se,) that may gave grown out of such a dark time.    Does
anyone know of a resource that might be helpful or in what direction I might
go?   Thanks..... Please email privately.
