Thank you for the mention. 
"El Maleh Rachamim" by Sholom Katz was used in the Italian film, "The Garden 
of The Finzi-Continis" (1970).
Whenever this film is show anywhere, we get requests for this recording.  In 
the film, it is played during the closing credits over the image of the home 
of the Finzi-Continis a prominent Jewish family after they were taken away by 
the Nazis...a very moving image.
