NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER:

I am the son of a Holocaust survivor, and both my parents’ families perished in the Nazi camps. So I was at once excited and apprehensive when asked to score The Tattooed Torah. This was more personal than just a scoring job, and I wanted to be sure I could do justice to this touching story that spans generations and continents. After conversations with director Marc Bennett about different instrumentation options I started sketching and decided that by means of large orchestra and choir I could convey the beauty, pain and inextinguishable spirit of European Jewry during those times.

The world is always facing challenges of one kind or another, and whenever economic, social and racial tensions heat up anywhere, antisemitism seems to appear part and parcel, rearing its ugly head. As the last survivors pass away, the importance of Holocaust education for kids and the need to preserve the memory of what happened in Europe under the Nazi regime is as relevant as ever.

It was a joy and a true privilege to work with Marc, producer Lisa Efferess, the Kopin family and the whole team. We all gained an enduring friendship and hope the music reaches the hearts of children and adults everywhere and lives on with the story of the little Tattooed Torah.

- Daniel Alcheh, June 2020
