Through delicious drawings, yiddish songs along with their English translations, Songs of the Shtetl takes us on a sentimental journey to an small East European Jewish community from long ago. There is a parade of endearing characters: the miracle working rabbi, the rich boss, the poor, hard-working Hasid, the prankish tailor, the wandering musicians, and of course, the matchmaker. The book is filled with affection, tenderness, endearment, charm, and humor.

Gila Flam offers a penetrating insider's look at a musical culture previously unexplored---the song repertoire created and performed in the Lodz ghetto of Poland. Drawing on interviews with survivors and on library and archival materials, the author illustrates the general themes of the Lodz repertoire and explores the nature of Holocaust song. Most of the songs are presented here for the first time. "An extremely accurate and valuable work. There is nothing like it in either the extensive holocaust literature or the ethnomusicology literature." -- Mark Slobin, author of Chosen Voices: The Story of the American Cantorate
