Regina Resnik Presents Covert or Convert (running time: 58:07) is the second in a
three-part series on Jewish classical song entitled Colors of the Diaspora.

Narrated on-screen by operatic legend Regina Resnik, and illuminated by inspired
graphics and English subtitles, Covert or Convert pays homage to Jewish composers
who converted to Christianity but who wrote on Jewish themes, and the composers who
did not convert, but wrote on Jewish themes in secret, often at the risk of their
lives. Featuring five U.S. premieres a powerful expression of the Jewish spirit
from the 12th century through the Holocaust.
