*This episode features some graphic content. Listener discretion is advised*
Music is often the only way to express sorrow, loss, and perhaps leave your story behind.
This might be especially true for some Jewish communities, who were rounded up and killed during the Holocaust.
Today, Professor Kevin Lewis O'Neill is joined by Professor Anna Shternshis - Director of the Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Toronto
In this episode, we will discuss Yiddish Glory - a research project that revives Yiddish songs that were thought lost or destroyed.
The songs feature lyrics and poetry written by jews in concentration camps -- and cover issues like Soviet Jewish wartime service in the Red Army, survival and death in Nazi-occupied Europe.
These songs were curated, arranged, and performed throughout Europe. -- later they were recorded into an album.
All the music in this episode was used with permission from Professor Shternshis. The full album can be found at soundcloud.com/yiddishglory
