WHY WE SING
TONIGHT, 7PM KINGS PLACE
What is it about song that brings communities together, in harmony and protest? Why do parents feel compelled to sing to their new-borns? How can an activity that helps to embed languages and maths formulae also be used to rehabilitate Long Covid sufferers? Singing is at the root of what it is to be human. Music therapist Julia Hollander charts our love of song from cradle to grave, from lullabies to songs for the dying. With some (voluntary!) audience participation.

https://jewishbookweek.com/event/come-to-this-court-cry/

At the very moment the last survivors – and legal witnesses – were dying, a criminal investigation in Latvia put hard-won facts about the Holocaust on the line. Then journalist Linda Kinstler discovered that a Nazi, 50 years dead and from the same killing unit as her grandfather, could be pardoned by the proceedings. Shortlisted for the 2023 Wingate Prize, the probing and profound Come to This Court & Cry: How the Holocaust Ends investigates both family story, the nature of memory and the archives of ten nations to examine what it takes to prove history in our uncertain century. In conversation with historian Anne Sebba. FIND OUT MORE & BOOK (https://jewishbookweek.com/event/come-to-this-court-cry/)
