The group released three music videos on YouTube; two feature mostly Baran’s spoken word over a mournful, almost discordant sound, while in the third Baran and her two adult daughters sing “Mir Zaynen Do,” one of many titles for the Yiddish partisan song written in the Vilna Ghetto by poet Hirsch Glick in 1943 Sunday will be the first time that the musical collaboration will be performed live but she’s looking forward to taking in the show — and amplifying her survival story It’s entirely a different thing when you hear it from the horse’s mouth,” Baran said in a Zoom interview “You hear it when a person went through all those sarot [storms] entirely different than you read it in the paper Born in Oszmiana, Poland (now Belarus), a shtetl near Vilnius, Lithuania, Baran was a teenager when her father and uncles were murdered by Nazis in 1941 along with almost all the other adult Jewish men in the town Her older sister was killed while they were trapped in the Oszmiana ghetto; eventually after being shuffled through several concentration camps she and her mother were liberated by the Soviets from Stutthoff concentration camp near Danzig (now Gdańsk) in the spring of 1945 Baran met her husband Mikhl in Łódź in 1946; he was also from Oszmiana and had been a Soviet fighter who was among those who liberated the Majdanek concentration camp outside Lublin Mikhl died at their home there in April 2020 He first heard Baran’s testimony at a Workers’ Circle Hebrew school event in December 2023 and was struck by the urgency of her testimony — that soon there would be no survivors left to tell the story of the Holocaust from firsthand experience Marquès was inspired to incorporate Baran’s story into a musical project there is a moment I think that the brain disconnects,” he said You say this word in English that I really like ‘unspeakable.’ There is a moment that words “helps the audience to create empathy with the person but feeling it not from a political or ideological…  it is a feeling.” Screenshot from the ‘Mir Zaynen Do’ music video Growing up, Marquès said he didn’t learn anything about what the Spanish did to the Jews of Catalonia, starting with the Spanish Inquisition, through the Holocaust, and all the way up to present-day antisemitism Marquès said he didn’t even know Sephardic Jews existed.) “Nobody taught me any of that ever in school or anywhere, while being exposed to the typical antisemitic tropes,” he said. But this new project, as well as an earlier one he recorded, titled “Sefarad” — a tribute to Jewish musical heritage in Spain — tell those untold stories of a people he used to know nothing about The music of the “Mir Zaynen Do” project isn’t cheerful — but it doesn’t have the weight of the typical minor-key big orchestra works with klezmer elements that are typical to the Holocaust music genre but I think that this masterpiece by John Williams and the ‘Schindler’s List’ kind of defines so much [of] what people expect from the music of this topic that I had to go far away from that,” Marquès said Sunday’s show will feature an “all-star lineup” of local jazz musicians The collaboration “it’s not a history class It’s not a book: It’s Millie,” Marquès said I think I’m removing a lot of other inputs that we have in lots of different directions.” “Albert Marquès and Ampl!fy Voices: We Are Here (Mir Zaynen Do) featuring Millie Baran” will be performed at Joe’s Pub (425 Lafayette St.) on Sunday, Feb. 2 at 6 p.m. For tickets, $30, and info, click here The New York Jewish Week brings you the stories behind the headlines, keeping you connected to Jewish life in New York.

Earth.org published an article from a study in Denmark which concludes, “that people living closer to green spaces have 55% less chance of having psychiatric disorders like stress, anxiety and substance abuse.” Wow who knew something as easy as providing access to nature could have such positive results Reno’s children are now growing up with less green space and more empty lots than ever before in an effort to combat food insecurity and rising temperatures I (in collaboration with community organizations my landlord and countless others) started Hampton House Community Garden Project because that’s how we take care of one another I love a problem with multiple, untapped solutions, such as requirements for developers to sponsor parks and plant native flower seeds in empty lots during interim periods; cultivating living walls on structures; and a huge boost in public transit and micromobility expansion.

He never accepted the troubled businessman's contribution because "Businessman-3's legal troubles in Turkey and the United States became public." Adams the first sitting New York City Mayor to be indicted has pleaded not guilty and refuses to step down as he insists on his innocence.  Adams agreed to ignore Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day in 2022 after a Turkish official "repeatedly" demanded Adams bypass any statements of condolences to its victims in deference to Turkey's ongoing denial of the atrocities that began in 1915 when the Ottoman Empire began a targeted decimation of its civilian Armenian population The systematic killings continued until 1923 when the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist and was replaced by the Republic of Turkey.On Monday attorneys for Adams filed a letter with a federal judge requesting an early trial date so that the Mayor could push his reelection bid his attorney wrote that Adam's scheduled March 2025 trial date will impede his campaign schedule "It is likely that many New Yorkers will cast their ballots on the first days of early voting An earlier trial date will ensure that Mayor Adams’s speedy trial rights are upheld that the Mayor will be able to fully participate in his reelection campaign and that this City’s voters can be rid of the distraction of this misguided indictment," he wrote adding criticism for federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York."The prosecutors could have indicted Mayor Adams on a timeline that did not interfere with the campaign or waited until after the election they chose to proceed him knowing that their preferred schedule would put the trial right in the middle of the Democratic primary."

Less than a minute after Rutgers scored, Sarah Weber snuck the ball into the net to tie the score Weber found an opening near the net again and launched her offering into the bottom right corner the game remained scoreless for the rest of the half despite several attempts by the Knights to equalize Rutgers came into the second half of the game prepared to mount a comeback against Nebraska Baran would be the offensive player to change the course of the game Approximately 3 minutes separated Baran's 2nd and 3rd goals Baran struck an unassisted goal into the top of the net to even the score at 2-2 Baran would make an impact once again in the game's 53rd minute who aimed her shot to the top of the net — seemingly her spot during the whole match The Knights would take the 3-2 lead and keep it for the remainder of the game, as Baran's first career hat trick gave Rutgers its ninth win of the season.
