“If you want songs of resistance at a time of political volatility, you don’t have to go much further than your own backyard”
- Gabriela Geselowitz, Jewcy
During World War II, Jews of Lublin were rounded up by soldiers and taken to a field. "Dance. Sing and dance for us," they were instructed. No one sang, until one person began: "Lomir zikh iberbetn...." Let's all get along. No one followed. Another voice offered the same tune with different words: "Mir veln zey iberlebn."
“Indroysn iz finster (It’s Dark Outside) is a moving and moody collection of traditional and new songs, with some delightfully inventive twists on skarabove (extremely familiar) tunes....Eva Boodman’s trumpet playing is a revelation here, and Zoe Guigueno’s bass playing, especially on the title track, is just gorgeous. ”
