Songs From The Wall / Various Songs From The Wall / Various CD

In 1960, the play The Wall hit Broadway stages. Little remembered now, this piece by Millard Lampell (based on a novel by John Hersey) was about the Warsaw Ghetto uprising against the Nazis. Here is the music from the play-ghetto, partisan, folk and love songs sung in Yiddish and accompanied simply by accordion.
