Subtitled The Songs of World War II Jewish Resistance, these 12 songs and poems reflect the strength and spirit of the Jewish resistance to Nazi occupation and domination. Originally heard in the 1986 documentary film by the same name, these songs were re-recorded in 1989 by various performers dedicated to preserving the cultural continuity of Yiddish-speaking Jews. Includes the haunting Yisrolik, sung by a young boy; Adrienne Cooper (of Vilde Khaye)'s achingly clear soprano on two selections; moving readings by writer Irena Klepfisz; and other contributions from women and men. Informative liner notes, lyrics sung in Yiddish, printed in English.
