We Are Here Concert

About the Concert

Following its sold-out Carnegie Hall debut in January, “We Are Here” comes to Chicago in recognition of the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 assault on thousands of Jewish businesses, synagogues, and homes. This one-night-only concert features songs that were written in the ghettos and concentration camps of Nazi-occupied Europe, interspersed with true stories about the writers’ lives. A “NY1 Theater Pick” that Broadway World called “incredible” and “powerful”, “We Are Here” pays tribute to the artists murdered during the Shoah who, in the worst of times, continued to create.

Cantor Danny Mendolsohn's voice was so extremely powerful in the song he sang. My Rabbi, Rabbi Lizzy, did a reading. There was a choir put together from 3 local public high schools with a lot of diversity.

If you click on the link and scroll down you can see all of the performers. There were so many.

It was all very moving.
