4.0 out of 5 stars music and remembrance of salonika/warsaw from a famed rocker, February 16, 2001

This review is from: Because of That War [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Yehuda Poliker and Yaakov Gilad are among Israel's top rock musicians (benzine). In the mid-1980's the two artists collaborated on the album, Ashes and Dust, which was dedicated the Holocaust's affect on their parents, as well as on them. They are the children of survivors. This quickly shot documentary mixes the album's songs with interviews with the musicians and their parents, who include Salonikan (Greek) Jews and Ashkenazi Jews. It is a story of Sephardi and Ashkenazi, of working-class and intellectual. Gilad's mother is from Warsaw, Poliker's father is from Salonika.
