[Live on Zoom] Where is Our Homeland? Songs from Testimonies in the Fortunoff Video Archive
|
Concert
Admission: Free Registration is required. |
In 2018, the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale University, along with musician-in-residence D. Zisl Slepovitch, began production of an album of songs transcribed from testimonies in the Archive titled Where is Our Homeland? The widely diverse compositions presented on the album form a multidimensional image of the lives of Holocaust survivors and the multiple identities they carried as Jews by faith and roots, and as European citizens. The songs bring to life insights into their experiences both during World War II and in the period preceding the war, all of which are documented in their testimonies. Join us for a live digital discussion with the musicians behind this project including the premiere of new, never-before-heard renditions of songs from the album.
