[Cz-L] thanks for sharing such treasures

Thanks, Jerome, for passing these onto us.

the song-- for those who can who can hear it in Yiddish--music, lyrics, and artist are especially priviledged. The language and the voice convey the haunting quality of this tragic story that the English word "meloncholy" fails to express.

I don't believe this is Joseph Schmidt as his voice was pitched higher and had a brighter sound but the vocalist sounds like a wonderful Cantor.

And Tosia Szechter Schneider's descriptive words, again, are so moving. I'm always surprised that although I've read numerous memroir- excerpts such as this since 1990 when I began researching, each one sounds like it's the first and incredible for its contents and the survivor's strength and courage.
