Re: [ha-Safran] A book I would like to publicize (Yiddish Songs from Warsaw 1929-1934: The Itzik Zhelonek Collection)
Will you also be doing a recording and concerts? I believe the best way to get the word out is for people to hear this music. See if you can get a grant. Try calling the Yiddish Center in Amherst, MA for some suggestions. Best of Luck Tamara Silberman On Monday, March 31, 2014 7:07 PM, Jane Peppler wrote: Hello, I am an independent musician and author. I have spent three years finding and compiling the melodies to almost 120 songs chosen by Warsaw book and record-store owner Itzik Zhelonek as "The Best and Newest Theater Songs" of his time. He published the lyrics to the songs in 7 tiny booklets I found at the National Library in Jerusalem and at the Chabad library in Brooklyn. This seemed to me a wonderful primary source answering the question: what songs were people loving before the Holocaust brought an almost permanent end to jovial, droll, cosmopolitan Yiddish music? I'm currently doing the final edit on the book and it will be published in May. It will have the melodies, chords, transliterations, translations, notes on the songs and the singers, and information about the archives where the original sources I used can be found. I believe this book is unique. Many of these songs have, I'm quite sure, not been heard since before the War. What might be the best way for me to publicize this book to libraries? Thank you, Jane Peppler The book is already available (though before its last edit) as a pdf, see http://yiddishemporium.com/ the first item. You can see the table of contents there, too. __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.jewishlibraries.org/ -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran__ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) == Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: galro...@osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
Re: [ha-Safran] holocaust book suggestion
I highly recommend "All But My Life" by Gerda Weissman Klein. I just finished this beautiful memoir, and was thorougly moved by it. This woman spent most of the war as a slave worker, and then survived a death march. She received the Presidential medal of Freedom in 2010.

Jennings. It is a story of people with great belief in God and amazing optimism after the man’s miraculous survival of near death situations. The authors live in New Jersey. They talk about their life in schools and centers within a driving distance. An interview with Mr. Finkelstein and his son is available on the website of the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.

It must be age appropriate regarding reading level (9th to 11th grades), appropriate for a religious girls' school, and well written for an English classroom. I've done research and so far have only come up with books that are for a younger, more middle school, audience. Thanks!
