In an effort to revive the Jewish spirit
which once ran through the western Ukrainian
city of Lviv, local enthusiasts organized
a Jewish folk music festival. Musicians followed
a traditional wedding procession through
the decorated streets of the old city as
actors performed scenes from 1930s Jewish
life (from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty).
