strong new song (which I helped write). Jane Byaela mentioned this song on

     (*Was fortunate to receive this CD of songs crafted from testimony
given by survivors of the Holocaust. A remarkable job, researching, putting
the fragments and memories to music and producing this series, with
whatever information they have, context, lyrics and translations. We are at
the very end of human memory. Now we must rely on the archives and the
artists to not forget.*)

own. I've been working through Robbie's gem of a debut solo album. Liz
