Dedication that didn't make it into the liner notes:
"Dedicated to our grandparents, who had the good sense to leave Russia."

Sentence that Chris Strachwitz blue-penciled out of the liner notes:
"The simplistic, schmaltzy stuff which passes today for Jewish music is little more than a ghost of the real thing; what Hitler didn't obliterate in the Old World got nose-jobbed to death in the New."
