"I had this record years and years ago, and loved Schlamme's poignant and haunting voice and her heartfelt rendition of such unique and traditional songs. But it is only this year as I began listening to the disk from the perspective of years that I noticed the amalgamation of moods - lullabies to orphans, deep sorrow and loss, and tragic fables mixed with light humor, day-to-day life, love, seduction, and toasts. Schlamme is showing through these songs the vast complex responsibility of the Holocaust survivor to revive a world of feelings that disappeared all at once."
