Yiddish Glory: Lost Songs of WWII

Listen to anti-facist songs documenting Nazi atrocities performed by Yiddish Glory at the Isabel Bader Centre and presented by Queen's Jewish Studies. 

Yiddish Glory is a product of collaboration between historian Anna Shternshis (University of Toronto), artist Psoy Korolenko (Moscow- New York), and Toronto-based producer Dan Rosenberg.  It features anti-fascist songs and music documenting Nazi atrocities that were discovered in a former Soviet archive in the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. The songs have been resurrected by Yiddish Glory in a jaw-dropping new recording of music written by Holocaust victims and survivors in the Soviet Union during World War II.

• Alice Ackerman: vocals
