Another work for Yom HaShoah, also known as Martyrs and Heroes Day, which ends this evening at dusk. #YomHaShoah #HolocaustRemembrance #arthistory

Below, drawn by Hedwig Brahn in 1944, included in Philipp Manes' memoirs, the 'Tatsachenbericht - Terezín Street, which documents life in the Theresienstadt Ghetto.

From “Holocaust History: Concentration Camps,” Chapman University, Orange, California. “Theresienstadt ghetto and concentration camp were located in Terezín, Czech Republic, in a former military fortress. Initially, it was established as a ghetto for Czech Jews. Later, it served as a concentration and transit camp for German and Western European Jews. In 1942, SS authorities deported Jews to concentration camps, forced-labor camps, and killing centers. In the camp itself, thousands of people died from disease or starvation.

In 1944 the Nazis temporarily beautified Theresienstadt to deceive an investigating committee from the International Red Cross to make a film that pictured the ghetto as a 'spa town' where elderly German Jews could retire. The barracks were removed, houses were painted, and gardens planted, however, this was an elaborate hoax. The Nazis staged social and cultural events for the visitors. The facts were very different. Of the approximately 140,000 Jews transferred to Theresienstadt, 33,000 died, and 90,000 were deported; only about 19,000 survived. Children were sent to Theresienstadt. About 15,000 children passed through, and 90 percent of these children perished in the killing center.”

A drawing (looks like pen and ink), of a street in a town, people walking, no vehicles. Nothing immediately suggests it is set in a town that functioned as a concentration camp.

Today at sundown, Yom HaShoah, Israeli Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day, begins. This commemoration is a time to remember the six million Jews who were systematically murdered, honor the survivors and recognize both the resilience and courage during Holocaust.

Yom HaShoah ist ein Tag der Erinnerung, des Gedenkens – und der Verantwortung gegenüber den Ermordeten. Nie wieder ist seitdem die Losung. #YomHaShoah #WeRemember #Shoah #HolocaustRemembrance 5/x

From a “Letters to Fred” review:

“We are witnessing in real time similar events to those that occurred in Germany 90 years ago. This work, like all other stories from the Holocaust, should serve as a stark warning to all of us that the horrors will never be a thing of the past unless we keep fighting to keep them there.”

Thrilled to have another article about „Letters to Fred“ – #NeverAgainIsNow!

”At the center of the commissioned work is Fred Herzberg, who was rescued by a Kindertransport to England in 1939, while his parents and sister were murdered in Auschwitz.“

LETTERS TO FRED

„Zwei Liedprogramme an einem Tag spannten einen Bogen von Lebenslust, Poesie und gerechtem Zorn am Vormittag zu trauerndem Andenken am Abend. Zwei Freundinnen erlebten dies gemeinsam, Megan Marie Hart auf den Bühnen, Joanne Herzberg im Publikum.“

❤️ Vielen Dank, lieber Detlef Obens & @opernmagazin!

LETTERS TO FRED: A Portrait of the Herzberg Family During the Holocaust
Song Cycle by Bracha Bdil

The terrible brutality of the Holocaust is so incomprehensible in its extent that it can only be understood on the basis of individual fates. This song cycle quotes from letters to the only survivor of the #Herzberg family from #Detmold.

On February 4, my friend tenor Ricardo Garcia* & I will sing for the sports club SV Darmstadt 98. Loved in the city and beyond, their fleur-de-lis logo is omnipresent in town, and they’re nicknamed Die Lilien (The Lilies).

I was very touched by their memorial march on Holocaust-Remembrance Day! And I think we have the best possible song for them on the 4th — I already know it will mean a lot to us all!

16/ Overall Conclusion: While the study provides important insights into Holocaust knowledge and current concerns, it should be interpreted with caution. The methodological biases identified—including selection bias, cultural bias, and social desirability bias—limit the scope of the conclusions. However, the study highlights gaps in collective memory and education about the Holocaust, emphasizing the need to continue educating future generations. #ResearchBias #HolocaustRemembrance
