Opera During the Holocaust

We are all familiar with the name Auschwitz. Most people could identify Auschwitz as a death camp for the Jews. Many people might be capable of recalling that it was located in Poland. Many would be uncertain of details, but would be at least familiar with the name. In any case, it is a part of modern culture. [Pg.49]

Auschwitz is usually depicted as the place of incessant, methodical and centrally-planned extermination of the Jews (not the Jewish race, as there is none.) [Pg.49]

There are many accounts and descriptions about the total horror, the pervasive atmosphere of suffering and the impending assembly line of death. Could such a place possibly have had a swimming pool for the prisoners Could it have been equipped with a social-educational centre, organized discussion groups, concerts, theatre, a children s choir, opera performances—all run by, and for, the internees Impossible That wouldn Y fit in with the image with which we are all familiar. [Pg.49]

Anyone prepared to search books, papers, and videos presenting the non-establishment evidence and opinions—material which, significantly, is never available in mainstream book shops—will become familiar with this information. [Pg.49]

The swimming pool has appeared in published reproductions of various wartime aerial photographs. Of course, these photos could be fakes but the prisoner s pool— now seen close-up- appears in a video filmed in modern-day Auschwitz. This video includes a rather surprising interview with the head tour guide and the director of the modern-day camp, Dr. Franciszek Piper. The film was made by David Cole. [Pg.49]
