Laurence Kutler author of "Composing in Hell"

In the hellish landscape of a concentration camp, art was still able to survive. How could composers and musicians continue to create, living through unimaginable horrors? Was it an act of defiance, a means of continuity in a world gone mad, or a desperation to survive by clinging to familiar patterns? Composing in Hell interprets biographical material, records, and observations in order to reveal motivations. For some, it was a creative endeavor, while for other composers it was an encounter with aspects of Jewish identity. The relevance of this experience compels us to ask similar questions regarding survival, identity, and meaning. Through their examples, explore how suffering and art combine towards resistance and resilience.
