Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Memorial
May 22, 2010, 11:50 a.m.
Today, April 19, marks the start of the most intense period of fighting between the Jewish resistance and the Nazi occupation during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. In a week of Holocaust Remembrance, many around the world are celebrating the spirit of resistance against oppression that arose during the Shoah. The Workmenâs Circle/Arbeter Ring (a 100+ year old Jewish organization committed to Yiddish culture and social justice), for one, is hosting Warsaw Ghetto Uprisig Memorials today in New York, Toronto, and elsewhere.
On this weekâs radio613, we speak with Adrienne Cooper of the Workmenâs Circle/Arbeter Ring. Our conversation explores Holocaust education and remembrance through themes of resistance and mutual aid, the work of AR and the Bund, Yiddish music as historical text, and much more. The show begins with the song âDi Shvueâ, the theme of the Bundist movement, performed by Adrienne Cooper, The New Yiddish Chorale, and The Workmenâs Circle Chorus and concludes with a rendition of âZog nit Keynmolâ from the Partisans of Vilna album.
Adrienne Cooper is one of the most acclaimed singers of Yiddish vocal music in the world today. She has written, performed, and produced countless Yiddish theatre shows, was a key part of the âKlezmer Revivalâ, and worked for a decade as Assistant Director of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.

The Appeal to Reason Newspaper 1895 - 1922
May 22, 2010, 1:30 a.m.
From 1895 to 1922 a newspaper began in little Girard, Ks. under the editorial leadership of J. A. Wayland. The paper openly embraced the then new ideals of revolutionary socialism.
It was called the Appeal to Reason and circulation soared to a record of more than 1 million copies a week during it's heyday. It was and still remains, the largest circulated socialist newspaper ever published in the United States. You will hear some voices of those who have studied it's history and some readings from it. Many thanks to Professor John Graham and Fred Whitehead for their voices and thoughts on this effort as part of our May 1st, International Worker's Day celebration. Music courtesy Utah Phillips, Ry Cooder, David Rovics and Pete Seegar, who opens the show with a rare version of the ancient anthem of "l'Intenationale" ... our thanks.
Jackson State Massacre--two dead in Mississippi
May 21, 2010, 8:18 p.m.
If you Google Jackson State today you have to work to even catch a glimpse of the violence that happened on their campus between May 14th and 15th 1970, just ten short days after the Kent state massacre. Perform that same google search on Kent state, of course, and thereâs no doubt that something horrific happened. History has swallowed the incident at Jackson State University Mississippi, but itâs no less noteworthy than the massacre at Kent State.
