Ep.14 – Lidlekh by Aurora

Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness

Summary

"Lidlekh" is an exploration of the music and history of the Vilna Ghetto Uprising. Aurora tells Inmn about the resistance fighters, poets, and musicians that participated in the underground resistance of the Nazi occupation of Poland. They talk about the power of music, historical contexts, the mythos of the dark forest, and the true history of the Avengers. It features songs from Hirsh Glick, Shmerke Kaczerginski and Rikle Glazer. Aurora preforms her versions of Zog Nit Keymol, Shtil Di Nakht, and Barikadn. The zine contains a written version of S'iz Geven A Zumertog. You can find a pdf of the zine at Tangledwilderness.org and follow along in English or Yiddish. The zine contains bios of the composers as well as a general history of the Vilna Ghetto. Our zine version is heavily abridged from a larger version that Aurora self-published.
