There, amid villages straddling Ukraine, Romania and Moldova, they chase the ghost of a music whose roots run deep in Yiddish memory.

Playful notes drift into solemn reflection when klezmer’s absence becomes evidence of history’s violent erasures.
Cameras record flutes and fiddles coaxed from weathered hands. Scholars...
