Neshome Lider: Songs of Resilience from the Holocaust

A Yom HaShoah & Garden of the Righteous Commemoration Honoring Geertruida “Truus” Wijsmuller

This Yom HaShoah, join Adas Israel Congregation for an evening of music, memory, and moral courage.

Neshome Lider is a moving musical journey of Yiddish songs written during the Holocaust, woven with story and reflection. Featuring Zalmen Mlotek, Rabbi Avram Mlotek, and Cantor Arianne Brown, the program reveals how song became an act of spiritual resistance, remembrance, and hope.

We will also honor Truus Wijsmuller, whose courageous leadership in the Kindertransport helped rescue approximately 10,000 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe. Joining us will be Isabel Bauer-Langsdorf, one of the children she saved, along with her daughter Julie Langsdorf, offering living testimony to the power of moral courage.

An evening where music and memory meet in sacred tribute. Supported by the Jonah and Rita Schiffres Yiddish Fund.
