Theresienstadt. near Prague, from which Czech Jews were deported east to be exterminated, was a concentration camp poorly disguised as a protective ghetto. Artistic activities were permitted by the Nazis, which postponed some deportations, and several scores of the music composed there have been recovered and begun to attract performances.
Camp survivors Alice Herz Sommer, a recital pianist and teacher, now 90 years old, and her son, cellist
Raphael Sommer , tell the story of the ghetto's other life alongside which the musical life was made.
Introduced by Jill Anderson.
