Wake County Public Library presents: Yiddish Songs of the Jazz Age

  • Eva Perry Regional Library 2100 Shepherds Vineyard Drive Apex, NC, 27502 United States (map)

In the 1930s a Warsaw shopkeeper published lyrics of the biggest Yiddish theater hits of his time. Sometimes droll, sometimes nostalgic, these once-famous songs disappeared after the Holocaust. Singer and author Jane Peppler spent three years searching out their melodies, and will talk about her research and sing the songs, providing subtitles so you don't miss a thing!
