"Miasteczko Bełz" - Stefan Witas !

[stevie2392]

its is very nice and very kind you burn the candles like Yarzeit candles for Jews.

as a jew myself it is honour and respect I feel for you all .

Thank you on behalf of my family who did not survive Hitler's hordes.

Can anyone please help and put some of Dr Janusz Korcak's words or talks on you tube.

He was as you know such a great man who rather than save his own life went with many of his children into the gas chambers.

My very best wishes and greetings for you.

Best version1

[bessamemucho]

Best version of this song.

[BonesnapperJ]

Stefan Witas nie śpiewa z takimi emocjami, jak Adam Aston. Aston śpiewał tak, jakby opowiadał historię życia.

[SJS1947]

Nie słyszałem tej wersji.

Mnie bardziej podoba się w wykonaniu Adama Astona. Co ciekawe, żadne z wykonań powojennych nie dorównują tamtym.

[jurek46pink]

Nawet Sławy Przybylskiej...???

Jest na moim kanale.

[Elaguine81]

Sublime !!!!!!!!

Never heard this song sung in Polish. My mother was born in Southern Poland in the section known as Galicia.Mostly populated by Poles, Jews and Ukrainians. She was prepared to come to this country in 1921 but when She was ready to sail the laws were changed and She needed money for a Visa.She didn't want to return to Poland. While waiting for the money to be sent by My aunt She worked for a Jewish family taking care of their 2 children, so if it wasn't for a Jewish family I wouldn't be here.

[TorgMangus]

There were plenty of versions sung in Polish. One of best is performed by Magda Umer.

[dybbuk4640]

the tango beat gives the plaintiveness of the melody with an implicit sense of deep passion

[rnv09]

I have at thirst for those thinks that said to me Roger are a Yid,I miss the days talk when people came over to see my zeida,I knew the difference when they spoke Russian

Yiddish sounded like German that my father spoke when he got upset,my zieda played all kinds of Russian and Jewish music this song

I have heard this song before, what is BELZ? Please can some one explain.

[jurek46pink]

Thank you for your visit, my friend. As for Belz (to some extent real to some extent mythical place-town; there were/are two /!/ Belz's - to make a story more complicated...), I advise you to put that name into google and find information, there is quite a portion...-

Best, J.

[KrzysztofvGazeta]

Belz is a town.

[jurek46pink]

Thank you Jane; your visits are so...refreshing !

:-)

I just do what I like and i know you understand it very well.

[kspm01]

The circle being closed with the second of two wonderful Bełz versions, thank you for this highly interesting series full of new discoveries!

[jurek46pink]

Actually - that was my intention to start and terminate with Belz; I am happy that you have noticed this. Such and attention...:-) How to thank you !

[genia106]

I think the little Jewish boy may have become a famous film critic. By the smile on his face, he was obviously enjoying the subject matter in the magazine. Thank you for the Yiddish-Polish-Jewish music and your informative text. It was a most enlightening two weeks.

[Fenhalls]

Far more likely, he was murdered.

[genia106]

You are probably right, but let us hope that he was SAVED!

[dzheger]

I'm enjoying listening to this popular Yiddish song sung and orchestrated in a typical Polish tango style. A beautiful version. Thank you for the Jewish-Polish cycle. We'll now stick around for the lovely pre-war Polish tangos sung by Stefan Witas et al. and for other goodies of the period.

[maistrino]

piekne,

[barbcard]

Thanks for this moving version of "Stetele Belz". I'm sorry you will be ending your Jewish/Polish cycle. I've learned a lot and heard some great songs.

[jurek46pink]

I started with Polish Belz and I am closing with it, however entirely different. Some day I may return. So many things have been promised...:-)
