Music about Raoul Wallenberg

David Ben Reuven:

Singer-songwriter, Wallenberg activist. Founded the Jerusalem Raoul Wallenberg Committee in the 1980s, holding regular demonstrations and petition campaigns calling for the release of Wallenberg. Published the book "Raoul Wallenberg is Alive" by Efim Moshinsky in 1987. In his novel Bestseller, based on his experiences, he imagines how Raoul is found and released. In recent years he has concentrated on writing songs and performing them about Wallenberg and the Jewish and non-Jewish rescuers of the Holocaust era, mainly in the context of the Jerusalem Working Group events.

These songs are now available on his CD "Songs of Hope, Heroism and Humanity". You can order the CD directly to Jerusalem Songs Ltd.

Andy Irvine:

The son of a Scottish father and an Irish mother, Irvine was inspired by his mother, an actress, to pursue a career in theater and appeared in numerous films and stage productions as a youngster. Music, however, had an even greater lure. After learning to play guitar, Irvine played in several teenaged skiffle bands, acquiring an interest in traditional folk songs and the songs of Woody Guthrie. Moving to Dublin, Ireland in the early 1960s, Irvine became involved with the city's folk circuit. After having performed with different groups, Irvine recorded his second solo album, Rude Awakening.
