Abstract:
This is an album of songs that were created and sung by members of the Jewish underground of Vilna during World War II. This organized, armed Jewish resistance against the Nazis is an ever-inspiring history of young people who refused to accept defeat. The songs express the profound grief and rage, the ordinary longings, the pride in military exploits, the romance of heroism, but most of all the inextinguishable defiance that animated the young fighters. These songs are presented in Yiddish (with English translations), by performers who are dedicated to the ongoing of fashioning cultural continuity with the murdered world of Yiddish-speaking Jews. Performers are David J. Waletzky, Adrienne Cooper, Josh Waletzky, Irena Klepfisz, Michael Alpert and Henry Sapoznik. The songs on this album were originally heard in the 1986 documentary film, Partisans of Vilna, directed and edited by Josh Waletzky. 1 S'Iz Geven a Zumertog - Michael Alpert 2 Yisrolik - David J.
