Songs Of The Holocaust



Greetings!
I would like to bring to your attention a program that I'm presenting on 
Sunday, November 11, in Tenafly, New Jersey (no charge). Tenafly is a few 
miles north of the George Washington Bridge.  Travel directions at the 
bottom of this message.

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.
