If Memory wasnt already a marquee name in showtunes, Barry Manilow probably would have used the title for a song in his new musical. Now playing at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, Harmony, about the Comedian Harmonists, a sextet of German singer-comedians, is also all about memory both historys short recall for a popular act erased by the Nazis, and the enduring guilt of the groups last surviving member. A pre-show banner, bearing a cartoon of our entertainers, gives us the date Dec.
