Hello Ms. Vizel, I just want to say that this song is incredibly touching, I would even call it "piercing", especially the moments of recognition between the survivors! I believe you mentioned that Riki Rose originally wanted to perform a different one, but I am so glad to have been able to hear this one. This also opened me a window into the work of Yomtov Ehrlich, which I'll definitely need to seek out further, since I think that a man like him, a European Jew turned Williamsburger after the Holocaust, would definitely have lots more fascinating topics to compose songs about in Yiddish. The only Jewish songs I've listened to up until this point were either traditional Hebrew songs, ones that I would say even most goyim (🙂) know, such as Hava Nagila, or Russian Jewish songs, which I believe there might be a fair chance that you yourself have not heard! I can recommend a playlist with a lot of them, all performed by a Ukrainian group, but I'm worried that the comment might be deleted by RUclips if I include a link. The channel is called "Gruppa Express", however. In any case, I do have a question about this song - what exactly is the "Frunzer Eshalon"? Would this translate as "Frunze Echelon" or "Frunze Squadron"? If so, what does this refer to? The most prominent example that I can think of is the Soviet city of Frunze, now Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan - it used to bear this name in honor of Russian revolutionary Mikhail Frunze. Perhaps Ehrlich included this because he had some connection to the city? Throughout the pre-war period and WWII, the Soviet government deported a lot of people, including the country's German and Korean minorities, to the central Asian republics (the -stans), so maybe he was one of them? Though I find this highly unlikely, if I'm being honest... how did you interpret it? Or perhaps there is a different place entirely also called "Frunza" or "Frunze", maybe in Romania or Poland? I would say this seems much more plausible... Anyway, as I said, outstanding song, I started watching the full interview with Riki Rose, can't wait to finish it! 🙂Thank you for your work!
Yomtov ehrlich is a gem, I’m so glad you discovered him. And thank you so much for introducing me to Russian Jewish songs which I’ll check out. I actually don’t know what the song title means either. Some people speculated that it was the name of a train. I do think yomtov ehrlich might have been familiar with some deportation and he has a very famous song about a man who lands in far flung Uzbekistan “in the mountains of Dijan”. It’s titled Jakob. I still haven’t been able to piece his bio together and I’m looking for an expert on yomtov ehrlich to interview
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn Wow, I'm actually very surprised that Ehrlich has a song like this (the one about Uzbekistan), I have to try and find it! Perhaps then there is a real chance that this song's title refers to the city of Frunze in Kyrgyzstan. In any case, thank you for your response, and if you do find someone who can tell us about Ehrlich, I will watch it with great interest. I also hope that you enjoyed Minnesota!
Riki Rose were proud of you! Baruch Hashem you reached many hearts. Wish you hatzlacha in your career.
Ah, thank you Frieda for this video! Riki Rose is so talented. This song brought me tears. I'm living in Germany. Feeling the tragedy😢
So beautiful! Thank you!
This is unspeakably beautiful.
♥️❤️
I really love this song so much, I am living in Switzerland and partially understand it. Thank you so much.
I love it very much too. I’m glad I pushed Riki to perform it, she was leaning towards another song.
