Songs of Holocaust and Heroism
JSA Home Album List View Album Next
These songs are a reflection of the conditions in the Ghettoes during the Holocaust. The restraint and lack of hysteria, the wry humor, the eternal hope which breathes from these lines, give them a unique poignancy which has earned them their place in modern Jewish folklore.
