Holocaust memorial

Planning permission has been granted for a Holocaust Memorial in London but the proposal remains mired in controversy.

Hundreds gathered at Ottawa City Hall on Jan. 27 for a memorial marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the 10th annual International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The reissue on CD of Moses Pergament’s “The Jewish Song” (“Den Judiska Sangen”) on Caprice brings to light a work that has musical and historical significance. It is a cry of pain in the aftermath of the Holocaust and is unfortunately still timely with the rising anti-Semitism in Europe, including the Scandinavian countries.
