Payadora Tango Ensemble – Silent Tears: The Last Yiddish Tango

Description

“Silent Tears” is based on poems, testimonies and writings of women who were victims of sexual violence and torture during the Holocaust. Some songs are from a project led by Dr. Paula David, while others are from Molly Applebaum, who was buried underground in a small wooden box during the war. Set to music by a Grammy-nominated and award-winning team of musicians, these songs tell the story of unimaginable violence as experienced by women and children during the Nazi occupation of Poland.
