Partisan tangos

Hi all --
First a little history, and then a question.
Many of you know that I have been working for years on a project of
collecting tangos with Yiddish lyrics. To date I have collected over 150
such tangos, as well as dozens of Polish and Argentine instrumental tangos
written by Jewish composers. I am writing (and soon performing) a musical,
dance and theatrical performance called Shtil, Mayn Corazon -- A Yiddish
Tango Cabaret, which will debut in Portland, Oregon on December 13th. (My
website will be ready within the next couple of days, and I will post a
message when it is up and running.)
Here's my question -- of all these songs I have found, including dozens of
ghetto tangos, I have not found any partisan tangos, and there is a part of
my plot that is just calling out for one. Does anyone know of any?
Thanks in advance,
Jenny
