CYCO Farlag, New York, 1948. First Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. After the end of the war, Kaczerginski sought to publish the repertoire he had rescued and compiled. In 1947 he contributed a section of ghetto and partisan songs to the anthology Undzer gezang (Our Song), the first Jewish songbook printed in post-war Poland. That same year his edition of Yiddish songs and poems from Vilna, Dos gezang fun vilner geto (The Song of Vilna Ghetto), was published in Paris. Kaczerginski's best known book, the landmark anthology Lider fun di getos un lagern (Songs of the Ghettoes and Concentration Camps), appeared in New York in 1948. Comprising some 435 pages with 233 songs and poems, this volume remains an indispensable point of reference for research in the field of Jewish folk and popular music of the Holocaust period.
