cal music to make up most of any hol. -

The disk, the product of more than
a year and a half of work, is a labor of
love for Byrnes and his friend and
partner, Mike Richter.
Or you could say that the disk is
the product of a lifetime of play for
the 71-year-old, Detroit-born Byrnes.
His interest in collecting records goes
back to his childhood.
"My grandparents had an old
windup Victrola," he recalled in a
phone interview from his home in
Albany, N.Y. "I used to play records
from the time I was 10 years old.
That's what got me hooked."
He does mean hooked. He refers
half-jokingly to the collecting bug as
"a sickness." He doesn't even know
exactly how many recordings he has.
"Thousands, from old 78s to the
newest CDs," he said. "I still collect.
Reel to reel tape, cassettes, whatever
the medium is, I've got some. But 78s
are my basic interest."
Most of the music on Stais of
David and its predecessor, a CD-
ROM compilation of male singers
from the British Commonwealth, Men
of Empire, derives from Byrnes' mas-
sive stacks of 78 rpm recordings.
The selection criteria for Stars of
David were simple, Byrnes explained.

of them may not have followed the
Jewish faith throughout their lives, they
are included not because of religious
practice, but based on their beginnings,
the childhood experiences which may
have shaped their development.

and that is where all that
expressed something else — the bitter-
ness many St. Louis survivors continue
to feel 60 years after the futile journey.
Asked about the meaning of the St.
Louis today, his answer was succinct.
"The message of the St. Louis is
that nobody wanted the Jews," he
said. "I remember when we were off
Miami Beach, and the Coast Guard
ships were around us to make sure
nobody jumped off. That was the
message.
He said he was a staunch supporter
of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
—"until later, when I found out that
the reason we didn't ger in was because
he thought it wasn't advisable political-
ly. Nine hundred people in a country
this big, and they couldn't find a place
for us?"
Rosenbach was 18 when he
embarked on the St. Louis., his parents
could afford only one passage, and the
plan was for him to come to the United
States and send for his parents later.
It didn't work out that way;
Rosenbach went from the St. Louis to
Holland and then to Baltimore; his
ten-year-old brother was evacuated
with other children to England. His
parents both went to the gas chambers
in Auschwitz.
"They wanted to save the children
first," he said. "That is part of my St.
Louis story."
