Tamara Gverdtsiteli spent her childhood in Odessa in a Jewish environment (her grandfather was a rabbi). According to her, many of the songs presented on the album were played at her home, so she wanted to remember them and convey the warm home atmosphere, and at the same time to remember the tragedy of the lives of Jewish people who were forced to leave Odessa during the war in 1941. The singer dedicated this album to her mother, and, according to her, this work is very dear to her. Gverdtsiteli selected the material for the album together with the artistic director of the Moscow Jewish Men's Chapel, Alexander Tsalyuk.
