History / Biographical
Cantor Moshe Kraus was born August 15th, 1923, in Uzhhorord, a Czechoslovakian border town, now part of Ukraine. He was the eldest of nine children born to Myer and Henya Kraus. He and his family were Hasidic Jews. At the age of 8, his beautiful singing voice was discovered and he began singing at Shabbat services and giving concerts. He eventually went on to receive professional training at the Vienna Conservatory. He was there in November 1938 during Kristallnacht. At 18, Kraus was hired as the chief cantor of Sighet, a Hungarian town with five synagogues. As cantor, he led the community in prayer and song at every Jewish event. A young man named Elie Wiesel sang in his choir; the two would become lifelong friends. In 1942, at the age of 19, he became the chief cantor of Budapest, Hungary. In 1943, Kraus was deported to work in Bor labour camp, at a Serbian copper mine. He was there for nine months before being sent to a coal mining camp in southwestern Poland, Katowice. From there, he was shipped to Bergen-Belsen in northern Germany wheer he became prisoner A855. Kraus sang to lift people’s spirits and performed for his fellow prisoners, including those in the women’s barracks. Kraus was so weak that he couldn’t get out of bed by the time British forces liberated Bergen-Belsen on April 15, 1945. He weighed just 35 kilograms. The last thing he remembers is a British soldier picking him up, and shouting, ‘Victory! Victory!” He woke up in hospital. After he recovered, Kraus went to work for a Jewish relief organization, then returned to Bucharest in search of his family. There he learned that his father, mother and five of his siblings had all been murdered by the Nazis. Despondent, Kraus moved to British-controlled Palestine and joined the Israeli army, where he learned to assemble and disassemble tanks. He was later asked to become the IDF’s first chief cantor. Kraus spoke six languages, Kraus and his wife moved to Ottawa in 1975, when he was hired as cantor at Congregation Beth Shalom. He retired as a full-time cantor in 1980, but continued to give concerts and was a regular feature at National Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremonies and other special events. Cantor Moshe Kraus passed away at home on Monday, May 29, 2023 after a brief illness.

History / Biographical
Yiddish Programing at the Chapel Street JCC began early in 1998 as a weekly program called “The Yiddish Hour.” This was an innovative and creative approach lead by Shirley Steinberg to teach and practice Yiddish language skills through conversation, stories, songs, and improvisation (or improv) games. When the Soloway Jewish Community Centre opened in September 1998, the Yiddish Hour regrouped and welcomed new members. Over the next three years, under the guidance and direction of Shirley Steinberg, the group developed a series of Yiddish programs called “Gelechter un Gezang” (Laughter and Song). By 2002, encouraged and inspired by the degree of interest and attendance, and with sponsorship from the Soloway Jewish Community Centre, the group began to perform under the name Die Folkshpieler – the Soloway JCC Yiddish Players; a group now made up of mature amateur actors having the goal of providing the community with more ambitious Yiddish theater. Die Folkshpieler presented their first formal theater production in 2003 entitled “Alles in Eynem” (Everything in One). In 2012, Die Folkshpieler celebrated its tenth anniversary with a retrospective production entitled “Fun Necht’n Biz Heint” (From Yesterday to Today) which featured highlights from their most popular theater productions. The group disbanded in 2015 after their last performance entitled “S’iz Besser in Yiddish” (Its better in Yiddish). Throughout Die Folkshpieler’s 14 year history, Shirley Steinberg took on the role of script writer, director, producer, manager and everything in between. A former New Yorker, Mrs. Steinberg is well known in Ottawa for her musical contributions. She was the director of the Israella Singers and the Shir-Am Choral Group.
