- Music Interviews
What can we learn from songs that describe crimes against humanity from prior times that Ukraine was invaded? On today’s show, we speak with University of Toronto professor, Anna Shternshis about her project, Yiddish Glory, resurrecting long lost songs written during World War II. She tells us how Holocaust victims and survivors used music to document Nazi atrocities with the goal that the perpetrators of those crimes will someday be punished.
