The First of May - each year - is celebrated in many Socialist/Communist countries as a Workers' Day - with the pseudo "nod" to Socialism which is despised in Socialist/Communist countries. It needs to be noted that the people of those countries understand how Socialism works - but they keep their political beliefs to themselves - as they "climb". However - the end of the Second World War in May of 1944 when the Germans and Hitler's - Nazis (Nazis - German Socialists of the Third Reich) - signed an unconditional pact of surrender to the Americans and their Allies (other nations who fought alongside the Americans) - is celebrated in most of the Eastern block of Europe.
They beat the Socialist Nazis to the pulp - at the great cost in humans lives. In May of 1944 - the Hitler's Socialists were soundly defeated thus "The Victory Day" is celebrated in May with joy - in many countries. The victory over the Nazis was paid by tons of lives - lost needlessly.
For this coming third week of May 2019 - we chose an old upload of a tremendously popular Polish Tango - posted by Dr. 240252 on Nov. 10 - 2012 titled - "Tadeusz Faliszewski - Szkoda Twoich Lez - Dziewczyno - 1929". The Polish title loosely translates to mean "It's a Shame You Shed Your Tears - Woman." The composer and the lyricist of this - eternally popular Tango - both perished in German/Socialist - death camp. The video garnered close to a hundred thousand clicks and it has a lot of interesting viewers' comments under it - including a lenghty comment by yours truly.

The composer - Artur Gold and the lyricist - Andrzej Wlast who also produced many successful shows in Warsaw - were both famous and celebrated in Warsaw from 1920 till 1939. Warsaw was full of outstanding Tango talents and other creative artists - at that time -since from 1920 till 1939 Warsaw was a mecca for all kinds of gifted performers, composers, producers. However - when Socialist/Hitler attacked Poland in 1939 - most of the Polish/Jewish artists were killed - with some lucky ones - escaping.
Both - the composer and the lyricist of this Tango - died in the German death camp - Treblinka. They were only in their late thirties. The death camp Treblinka - located in the northern part of Poland - exterminated close to a million people. A few lucky ones - were able to survive - only sixty seven people escaped with eight hundred thousand - killed. In the Treblinka death camp and in general - the Germans killed mostly Jews but in that camp and during the Second World War - the Poles (mainly the resistance fighters) and other nationalities - opposing Hitler' Socialism - also died massively - killed by the German Socialists. Arthur Gold's cousin - a talented musician - Henry Gold - escaped to the U.S. where he was successful for many years - in Hollywood - where he died in his advanced years.
In any event - all of us will have a super good third week of May 2019. As always - thanks for clicking our YouTube channel tango3721! So far - it's been a cool spring in our mountainous Pittsburgh. We shall meet here a week from today - same place - same time - same channel!
