Watch Live Program | The Power of Music: A Jewish Rebellion

The Power of Music: A Jewish Rebellion Live Digital Program WHEN: Wednesday, June 24, 9:30 a.m. ET WHERE: facebook.com/holocaustmuseum

After the Nazis deported 476 Jews from Denmark, the Danish government pressured Germany to allow the Red Cross to inspect the Theresienstadt camp, where the Danes had been sent. The Nazis created an elaborate hoax to give the impression that the Jews living there were thriving. So the prisoners made the bold decision to sing what they could not say when the Nazis forced them to perform for the Red Cross delegation. Request a reminder to join conductor Murry Sidlin and Dr. Lisa Leff for a discussion about the Jewish musical rebellion and efforts to honor these courageous artists. Speaker Murry Sidlin, President and Artistic Director, The Defiant Requiem Foundation Moderator Dr. Lisa Leff, Director, Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Watch live at facebook.com/holocaustmuseum and join in the conversation.
