Most songs come from ukriane or Russia. They are now singing 'hitler is kaput!' It is a splendid historical documentation of resistance, yiddish style, in the getthos under nazis. The cd comes with explanation of each songs in the booklet. And translations I think. Ravishing and a very important cd to own.

I first heard if this compilation againts the rise of fascism and control of nazis, on CBC who was showcasing the album, one day I happened to be listening. The hope heard in the voices of these yiddhish singers brings me to tears though I need to read the transaltion to understand the lyrics. Get that album, everyone. It is time to honor our history as human beings, being so close to WWIII  and with the upsurge of the far right and fascism worldwide and turmoil everywhere on earth. Amen! om mani pémé hung
