David Werdyger

Hazzan (cantor) -- via vosizneias.com. Quite literally a savior of Jewish music! A survivor of the Holocaust, who saved his own life by singing for the dreaded Nazi camp commander Amon Goth, who deigned to spare his life. Later, Werdyger was saved again as one of those on "Schindler's list." After the war, he recorded no fewer than 60 albums of sacred melodies, preserving them for all time.
