THE ART OF HUMANITY

SILENT TEARS – THE LAST YIDDISH TANGO

Bridging Memory & Music
Performed by the Payadora Tango Ensemble

November 12, 2026

This award-winning production includes performances of songs based on poems, testimonies, and writings of women victimized during the Holocaust. The music – composed of Polish tangos that were performed in the 1930s – tells stories of survival, resilience, and terrible loss.

Silent Tears – The Last Yiddish Tango began when Dr. Paula David launched a poetry project to help Holocaust survivors deal with long-term trauma from horrific crimes.

Silent Tears also includes a number of works based on Holocaust survivor Molly Applebaum's diary and memoir, Buried Words. She's now 94 and lives in Toronto. As a child, she was buried underground in a box on a farm in Dabrowa, Poland, with just a small hole to breathe.

Silent Tears won the Weltmusikpreis in Germany, reached #1 on World Music Charts Europe, was Album of the Year at the Folk Music Ontario Awards, and won Producers of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards.

The program is performed in Yiddish with English supertitles.

There will be a post-performance discussion led by Dr. Robert Watson.

Based on the book by Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela
Directed by Keith Garsson
