THE SHOAH SONGBOOK PART THREE: POLAND
April 27 - Digital Release
Likht Ensemble will share the third installment of the Shoah Songbook, with this segment focusing on music from the Krakow and Łódź ghettos in Poland.
"With recurring motifs of springtime, dreams, suffering, and lost love, beautiful melodies are a vehicle for biting irony and devastating truth. This musical journey is a revealing snapshot of the inner creative life of Jews detained in these Lithuanian camps: their hopes, tragedies, and above all their defiant engagement with life itself."
- Lynn Slotkin, The Slotkin Letter
