On Thursday, Sept. 22, opera singer and New Jersey native Rachel Joselson will perform selections from her CD Songs of the Holocaust at Montclair State University in a program sponsored by the Department of Religion and the Jewish American Studies program.

This event was written up in an article by Johanna Ginsberg of New Jersey Jewish News in article titled “Singing the songs of Theresienstadt” published on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2016. The article features quotes by the performer, Rachel Joselson, and Dorothy Rogers, chair of Montclair State University’s Department of Religion.

“I love being able to bring this music to people who have never heard it and had no idea it existed,” said Joselson. “The songs are sad and depressing. But the fact that I am singing them now and bringing them to the public is uplifting — it’s inspirational that these people in the most unimaginably worst of times created art for survival,” said Joselson in the article.
