Re: looking for Holocaust-related music

[Rmsarig <Rmsarig...>]

John Zorn has an album called "Kristallnacht," I believe on his own label 
Tzadik (www.tzadik.com). Some of it consists of Eastern European Jewish 
melodies, depicting life before Holocaust, but then there is a 10-minute 
section that is a collage with countless samples of breaking glass layered on 
top of each other. As you might expect, it's unlistenable (the CD even warns 
that prolonged listening can cause hearing damage), but it's also about the 
best aural representations of the Holocaust you could imagine.
Also, Steve Reich has a work called "Different Trains," concerning the 
Holocaust.
And there are numerous popular songs if you're interested.
