Henry Sapoznik, a renowned Yiddish musicologist and five-time Grammy nominee, will explore in story and song his family's rich history in pre-War Poland. You'll learn about his father, Zindel, whose sweet and powerful voice led him to become one of the last great cantors from Eastern Europe. Henry's zeyde Izak fought in Trotsky's army during the revolution. Later he saved his family from the Nazis. Itzak’s brother Elihu, arrived in America in 1905 and appeared in over 80 Hollywood films.
