Before the Second World War, Poland had the highest proportions of Jews among its population of any independent country in the world. Jews had their own ‘underworld’, populated by petty pickpockets, thieves, prostitutes, murderers and an organised mafia. A number of songs exist from and about this underworld. The songs in question were sung sometimes in Yiddish, sometimes in Polish, and sometimes to Polish folk tunes. Many of them tell stories of infamous Jewish figures of that time. The Jews described are not always good but always truly ‘human’ – with strong emotions and willing to kill for love, revenge or honour. This album presents eight of such songs, recorded live in concert at the Players Theatre in Dublin.
