<< "Sidor Belarsky Songbook" published by Queens College.  [This is not the 
same as the somewhat less useful Belarsky book "My Favorite Songs".]  These 
heartfelt settings are simpler than the Weiner material, and the 
serviceable piano parts are not very ambitious, but they come with the 
incomparable advantage of being able to hear Belarsky's interpretations of 
them, scattered among his many recordings.  This book is hard to come by,

"Sidor Belarksy Songbook" is also available at Hatikvah Music. This 
particular book contains 77 songs with piano accompaniment. Besides having the 
phonetic 
Yiddish lyrics running with the melody line, all lyrics are written out at 
the back of the book in both Yiddish and phonetically...256 pages. 
 We sell this book at $19.98 + shipping.

Belarsky also has three CDs, one of which consists of Holocaust songs.
