    "Yizkor" (Hebrew, memorial prayer) is an oratorio created by Sholom Secunda (music) and Samuel Rosenbaum (text). The work premiered on ABC television's long-running religious program "Directions" in April 1973, and helped bring Holocaust history and commemoration to the attention of a broad American audience.
