Concert Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz

On the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz: An Extraordinary Concert Against Bigotry

Presented by: The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, The National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, Temple Emanuel Streicker Center, UJA-Federation of New York, The New York Board of Rabbis.

Featuring:

Itzhak Perlman; The Klezmer Conservatory Band; Klezmer icons Hankus Netsky, Andy Statman, Frank London, and Lorin Sklamberg; Tovah Feldshuh; Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot (Park East Synagogue); Director Joel Grey and the Cast and Orchestra of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, with Musical Director Zalmen Mlotek; and HaZamir: The International Jewish Teen Choir, with Musical Director Matthew Lazar, and Eleanor Reissa.

Additionally, the concert will feature a keynote address by Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, Executive Vice President of The New York Board of Rabbis.

On the afternoon of January 27, 1945, Allied troops entered Auschwitz concentration camp, liberating the 7,500 prisoners still living, discovering the corpses of 600 more and the ashes of another 1.1 million.

To commemorate that day, to underscore the commitment of the Jewish community to never forget and to continue the struggle against anti-Semitism and all forms of racial and ethnic hatred, Yitzhak Perlman will be headlining this very special musical event. He will be joined by the cast and orchestra of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish and leading Klezmer musicians to revisit his musical journey of the 1990s from the Lower East Side to the Jewish Festival in Krakow.

Produced by Moishe Rosenfeld, Golden Land Concerts; Production manager – Bonnie Stein, GOH Productions
