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. — James D. Besser "They had to have been either Washington Correspondent operatic singers or cantors with oper- atic quality voices," he said. The exhibition "Voyage of the St. And they had to have been Jewish. Louis" continues at the United In the CD-ROM's introduction, States Holocaust Memorial Byrnes writes: "All but one of the Museum in Washington, D.C., singers here represented were born of at through Sept. 6, 1999.

His born Harold Byrnes. 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." (248) 474-2781
