This rich compilation of Yiddish folksongs contains the texts of
over five hundred songs in transliterated Yiddish and in English
translation, with music for fifty-four, as well as extensive comments
on their origin, meaning, and background. Together, they afford a
fascinating view of life in the now-vanished Jewish communities of
Eastern Europe, of the migrations to America and Israel, and of
the horrors of pogroms and concentration camps. There are chap-
ters on cradle songs, children s songs, love and courtship songs,
wedding songs, songs dealing with religious beliefs, street and un-
derworld songs, humorous and dance songs, Chasidic songs, songs
of class struggle, and finally, songs deriving from the ghettos and
death camps of Nazi-occupied Europe. They are all "voices of a
people"--a people that has expressed its deepest feelings and
thoughts through song.
