French concert tragedy

[Seth Rogovoy <rogovoy...>]

There is a short, front-page report on the accident at last week's Yiddish
music concert in Strasbourg in this week's (July 13) issue of The Forward.
I'm not sure if it's on the website at www.forward.com.

The facts have pretty much been reported already, the report gives a little
more on-scene color and notes that the group performing was "Les Yiddishe
Papas et Mamas," and it was an outdoor concert. Apparently the fact that it
took place on a Friday night is once again raising some eyebrows.
