Songs for International Holocaust Remembrance Day
On this edition of Stranger Songs, we mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, falling later this week on January 27. In these times of exploding antisemitism and other forms of racism and hatred, it’s important for us to pause and remember the lessons of the Holocaust when Hitler’s Nazi Germany systematically murdered 6 million Jews – about two-thirds of the Jews who lived in Europe.
