A Voice for the Silenced: Music Lost in the Holocaust, music of the Holocaust

CPR Classical remembers the artists murdered by the Nazis -- and the music that survived and continues to inspire. One of the recurring topics in “A Voice for the Silenced” is the Terezin ghetto, a concentration camp created by the Nazis to house composers and other artists. The Nazis encouraged musical performances, stage productions and sporting events to create an apparent model community that masked the brutality taking place inside concentration camps across Europe.
