  • Resumen

  • In Part 1, we meet three women (Carla, Rosa and Rosita) who grew up in vibrant post-war Jewish Sydney, among a community of Yiddish speakers, Bundists and performers. The women recall a time when the Folk Centre, a small club house for Yiddish speakers located in Bondi Junction, bustled with newly arrived refugees and migrants.  

    Central to this period was Salo Sperling – the Singing Barber of Bondi. Sperling, born in the Yiddish-speaking heartland of Chernowitz (then Romania, today Ukraine), survived the Holocaust and arrived in Sydney in 1948. A talented tenor and actor with an emerging performance career in pre-war Europe, he began organising Yiddish concerts with a number of famous actors and singers. Over many decades Sperling and his group performed to capacity audiences at venues across the Sydney. Despite his best efforts, the language never grew beyond the fringes of the Jewish community. And when Sperling passed away at the age of 102, the Yiddish music died with him.
