We Are Here: Songs from the Holocaust
Thursday, January 26, 2023
7:30 PM
Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
To commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, this concert features songs written in the ghettos and camps of Nazi-occupied Europe performed by cantors alongside pop and Broadway talent. From folk ballads to up-tempo satire, these songs present a powerful tribute to artists who, in the worst of times, continued to create. Eighty years after the Shoah, this one-night-only event strives to carry on their voices and inspire a better world for us all.
