We just received this new and very important recording of 18 Yiddish songs 
sung in the various Ghettos of Europe during the Holocaust.

{From the Booklet} This recording presents music theater repertoire written 
and adapted y Jewish composers, lyricists, actors, singers, and street 
performer, and amateurs in the Jewish ghettos of Poland and Lithuania during 
World War II. It is a record of the expressive vocabulary of its time and its 
creators--satirical and elegiac, political and personal, angry and 
heartsick.........Notes by Adrienne Cooper

These songs were adapted from Yiddish Folk and liturgical songs, operetta and 
American ragtime, as well as tango and cabaret songs.

The songs are sung primarily in Yiddish though some are  sung in both Yiddish 
and English.  One notable exception is the song "Song of The Nazi's Soldier's 
Wife"(sung in this collection in English). Composed by Kurt Weill, he 
broadcast it back to Europe by short-wave to demoralize the Germany soldiers.

The accompanying  28 page booklet has translations of all the songs and 
detailed notes by Adrienne Cooper as well as photos of the composers, most of 
whom were killed in the War. 

We are offering "Ghetto Tango" at the sale price of $12.98 SHIPPING INCLUDED 
through the month of April.

Thank You,
