“LAST YIDDISH HEROES” WITH ANNA SHTERNSHIS AND PSOY KOROLENKO

Generously funded by The Joseph and Eda Pell Endowed Fund for Jewish Studies

Singer-songwriter Psoy Korolenko a.k.a. Pavel Lion and historian Anna Shternshis (University of Toronto) bring to life “lost” Yiddish songs of the World War II in this all-new concert and lecture program. Collected by Moshe Beregovsky and other scientists of the Kiev Cabinet for Jewish Culture, these previously unknown Yiddish songs were confiscated and hidden by the Soviet government in 1949, and have only recently come to light. The lecture/concert features the performance and incredible stories behind these treasures.
