In remembrance of Kristallnacht, the JCC on the Palisades presents
"SONGS OF THE HOLOCAUST: A COMMEMORATIVE RECITAL"
Sunday, November 11, at 3:00 PM
Sam Weiss, Baritone
Michele Mestman, Piano
Cantor Sam Weiss, a native speaker of Yiddish, brings to life the poignant
songs created in the World War II ghettos and concentration camps, as well
as some of the commemorative music written after the Holocaust. Produced
in the most grievous of circumstances by children and adults engulfed by
death and horror, this music provides a unique insight into the emotional
state of the victims and the indomitable nature of the human spirit.
Through a powerful performance and an original commentary on the text,
music, background, and circumstances surrounding the material, this
lecture-recital vividly recalls a lost Jewish world.
