‘Out of the depths is nothing less than a treasure. In vivid terms, it tells the story of an immensely meaningful text, beginning with its rediscovery in our own times and travelling back to trace the chain of events that led to its production. A gem for those interested in the Holocaust, in music and the rebirth of documents, buried and unknown.’ Hasia Diner, Professor Emerita, New York University ‘This is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand East European Jewish life during the Holocaust. This superb collection of contemporary Yiddish songs is lovingly edited and contextualised by the editors. Powerful and deeply moving.’ Tony Kushner, James Parkes Professor of History, University of Southampton ‘A fascinating anthology that highlights the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror. No serious student of the Holocaust will want to be without this book.’ Adam Gorb, composer -- .
