A musical physical theater work entitled "Leaden Skies," produced in part in the San Francisco Bay area in 2008 and 2009, uses the imagery of the song "Zog Nit Keyn Mol" as an anthem and inspirational launching point. The Holocaust themes and inner thoughts of the prisoner characters are explored by using "drama, original music, and physical theatre choreography to explore its thought-provoking subject." Written by author Martin A. David, with original music by Los Angeles based musician Jacob A. Hall.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.”
—Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
