West Side Story 1957-2007 Streisand/Mathis

Somewhere....One hand, one heart....
I have a love.
Three classic songs from the landmark
musical WEST SIDE STORY.
50th anniversary celebration.

Streisand on "Somewhere": " I think its message is universal. One can listen to the lyric of "Somewhere" and relate to it on any level. From whatever walk of life you are, from whatever perspective you have, somehow you can relate to "Somewhere." "



Part I: SOMEWHERE (abridged version) 02:31 min.SOMEWHERE: A HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL.
Kristallnacht 1938 and the S.S. St. Louis
voyage to Havana,Cuba in 1939. More than
900 jews on a ship bound for Cuba with
valid landing permits were denied entry
and forced to return to Europe. Many of them
perished in the nazi concentration camps.
After the war, a Holocaust Memorial was
erected at the Jewish cemetery in Havana
with the following description: Honrando la memoria
En este lugar estan enterradas varias pastillas de jabon hechas de grasas humanas
hebreas parte de los seis millones
victimas de la barbarie nazi
ocurrido en el siglo vdeinte
Paz a sus restos.

Translation:

"Here are buried several bars of soap
made from human fat of jews
part of the six million victims of
nazi cruelty which took place
in the twentieth century.
Rest in peace.
