Songs
Some of the songs are Jewish songs. Some are Jewish prayers. Some are love songs. Some are childrens songs. Some of the songs are Csárdás (pronounced char-dahsh). Malvina may have learned it in town and also from the gypsy musicians who played music in her mother's restaurant in Trebisov. She points out the sources of some of these songs and what they meant to her.
