Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThis special WMI Plus At Home Session commemorates Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day.  Join members of the Payadora Tango Ensemble and Lenka Lichtenberg with journalist/music producer Dan Rosenberg  as they present stories and music from Silent Tears: the Last Yiddish Tango (Six Degrees Records), a project based on poems, testimonies, and writings of women who were subjected to sexual violence and torture during the Holocaust. Some songs are from a project led by Dr. Paula David, a social worker at a Toronto Jewish care home who helped survivors to process their trauma by writing collective poetry. Others are from Molly Applebaum, a Toronto-based author, who, during her adolescent years, was buried underground in a small wooden box in a barn in Poland during the war.More about Silent Tears: The Last Yiddish TangoWMI Plus At Home experiences are supported by a grant from Con Edison and world music lovers like you.
