City of the Future

Yale Strom, violinist, composer, filmmaker, writer, photographer and playwright, has conducted extensive field research among the Jewish and Rom communities in Europe and Russia. In this album he explores the thriving Yiddish culture in the former Soviet Union in 1931 with Yiddish schools, theatres, choirs, literature and discussion groups.
 
This fascinating and unique album brings light to an immensely well-established cultural entity in Russia before the onset of WWII.
