KINGSLEY: Voices from the Shadow / Jazz Psalms / Shabbat for Today

“One CANNOT write about Auschwitz. One MUST write-write and write-about Auschwitz and the Holocaust, It seems that when we are forced to walk that corridor between Life and Death, sources of creativity become readily available, and Life is compelled to express itself.” – Gershon Kingsley describing Voices from the Shadow , his musical settings of poetry written by concentration camp prisoners.
