Thread Name: Holocaust/shoa songs. In memory.
Subject: RE: Holocaust/shoa songs. In memory.
For me, Mayn Shvester Khaye sung by Chava Alberstein on her excellent Cd The Well, is the most poignant and moving Holocaust song I've ever heard. It is a poem by Binem Heller set to music by Chava Alberstein, arranged by The Klezmatics.
The whole CD is excellent, and is not by any means a CD of Holocaust songs- it is simply a joy of Yiddish poems set to music.
