Bina Landau (Шаблон:Lang-yi, 1925–1988) was a Polish-born American Soprano folk and art singer active from the 1950s to the 1970s.[1] She primarily performed in Yiddish and Hebrew, interpreting the work of such composers and poets as Itzik Manger, Hayim Nahman Bialik, and Mordechai Gebirtig.[2] She was a Holocaust survivor, having been imprisoned in Bergen-Belsen and other camps during the Second World War.
Biography
She was born Bina Herszberg in Radom, Kielce Voivodeship, Poland on November 1, 1925.[3] She was Jewish; her parents were named Moses (Yichael Moshe) and Sarah (Surah Leah, née Migdajek).[4][5][3] She was influenced by her father's love of music, and her musical abilities were already noticed at age 4 by Dr. Milano, a prominent musician in Radom.[6] She joined the Beth-Yakov Temple choir in Radom at 8 years old.[6]
During World War II, following the German Invasion of Poland, she was initially imprisoned in the Kraków Ghetto.[7] She was then sent to four different concentration camps during the course of the war: Majdanek,[8] Auschwitz,[1] Kraków-Płaszów,[9] and Bergen-Belsen.[1][10][11] After the end of the war, she lived in the American Zone of Germany and met her future husband, Marion (Mariek-Fiszel) Landau in Garmisch-Partenkirchen; they were married in Stuttgart in January 1946.[1][2][4] Bina's parents also survived the Holocaust and she was reunited with them after the war.[2] She and Marion emigrated to the United States, sailing from Bremerhaven to New York City in May 1946; her husband later recalled that she had sung for the fellow Jewish emigrants aboard the ship during the voyage.[2][12][13] They soon settled in Philadelphia, where Marion founded a bridal headwear manufacturing company and later became an accountant.[14][15] Bina auditioned for the choir at the Settlement Music School in 1952, where she was accepted and soon started to receive instruction.[2] She also studied in New York with vocal instructors Arthur Wolf and William Hermann.[15] The Landaus became important figures in the Philadelphia Jewish community; Marion helped found the Jewish New Americans in Philadelphia group, an association of Holocaust survivors, and later created endowments for the Perelman Jewish Day School and the Jewish National Fund.[14] Bina became a well-known performer of Jewish music and would tour extensively in the United States, as well as perform on the radio in New York and Philadelphia for several decades.[6][16] She appeared at Carnegie Hall for the first time in the early 1950s.[6][17]
Landau's friendship with Mikhl Gelbart was an important influence on her musical career and her dedication to Yiddish- and Hebrew-language folk and art song. In 1959 she founded a Holocaust Survivor's choir in Philadelphia, and she was also soloist with the Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel choir for more than two decades.[2][18] She also had a regular radio program on WEVD in New York and one on WDAS in Philadelphia starting in the mid-1950s.[19] In the early 1960s she went on a month-long tour of Israel.[20]
She died on June 24, 1988, in Philadelphia.[5][21]
