"Endearing and enjoyable ... You'll leave ... buoyed up by the infectious tunefulness, gusto and life enhancing merriment.... The tunes - and there are many of them - are lively and lilting, ear tickling and foot stomping" ~ New Yorker
"A personal coda to a defining 20th century tragedy [and] ... an authentic document of survival" ~ N.Y. Times
