Yiddish was the predominant language for songs created in Holocaust ghettos and concentration camps. However, persecuted Jews across Europe and the U.S. created songs expressed in the language of their country of origin; this patriotism proclaimed cultural dignity and defiance. Dr. Tamara Reps Freeman, a Holocaust musicologist and recitalist, brings these multi-lingual expressions to life by telling the stories of the composers, sharing their lyrics and playing their evocative music on her 1935 Joseph Bausch viola which was rescued from the Holocaust.
Tamara Reps Freeman, D.M.A. performs Holocaust music lecture-recitals playing her 1935 Joseph Bausch viola which was rescued from the Shoah. Dr. Freeman is the musicologist in the Association of Holocaust Organizations, and is a professor at Yeshiva University in the graduate department of Holocaust Studies. An accomplished classical musician, she is the newly appointed permanent conductor of the North Jersey Symphony Orchestra in Fair Lawn, NJ.
This program is co-sponsored by The Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey.
