  • Violinen Der Hoffnung Begleitheft RZ.Indd
    „Violinen der Hoffnung” © Weinstein ZEICHEN GEGEN DAS VERGESSEN „Violinen der Hoffnung” In den 1980er Jahren öffnete Amnon Weinstein aus Neugierde einen alten Violinenschrank seines Vaters und entdeckte in einer der eingelagerten Instrumente edle Gravierungen. Die Leidenschaft für seinen Beruf war größer als das Unwohlsein, das er beim Öffnen des Schrankes verspürte. Er recherchierte und fand heraus, dass der Besitzer der Violine in Auschwitz interniert war und im Männerorchester des Vernichtungslagers spielen musste. Weinstein kam zu der Einsicht. „Ich musste die Violinen wieder zum Klingen bringen – auch als Zeichen gegen das Vergessen“. © Weinstein VORWORT Hoffnung & Versöhnung Die „Violinen der Hoff- nung“ haben sich den Weg von Israel nach Dresden gebahnt – darüber freue ich mich außerordentlich und heiße insbesondere den initiativreichen israelischen Geigenbauer Amnon Wein- stein sehr herzlich in der sächsischen Landeshaupt- stadt willkommen! Die Idee ist faszinierend wie inhaltsschwer: Historische Violinen, die in der Nazizeit angesichts millionenfachen Todes in den Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslagern gespielt wurden, erklingen aufs Neue und mahnen zugleich: Denn jeder 9. November erinnert uns an das dunkelste Kapitel unserer Vergangenheit. Auch in Dres- den wurden jüdische Mitbürger verfolgt, vertrieben und in die Lager deportiert. Auch hier brannten Geschäfte, Wohnhäuser und die Synagoge. Niemand konnte danach noch sagen, von nichts gewusst zu haben. Wir können zwar nicht das Leid und Unrecht von 1938 und später wiedergutmachen, wir können nur immer wieder Zeichen guten Willens und der Versöhnung setzen. Eines dieser Zeichen sind die „Violinen der Hoffnung“, die zu neuem Leben erwacht sind. Ich danke den Initiatoren und Unterstützern und nicht zuletzt den Musikern ganz herz- lich dafür, dass das in dieser Zeit möglich wurde.

Overview of Music During the Holocaust During the Holocaust, music played many different roles. From the rise of Nazi power in Germany to the end of World War II, governments and individuals used music for a variety of reasons. Here are four prominent main themes of music during Nazi Germany and the Holocaust: • Politics and Propaganda • Resistance • Responses • Memory Source: http://holocaustmusic.ort.org/ Politics & Propaganda For the Nazis, music was not only a source of national pride, but also a tool for propaganda to influence German society. They felt music had a unique significance and power to seduce and sway the masses. Shortly after the Third Reich gained power in 1933, orchestras and conservatories were nationalized and funded by the state, and popular performers were recruited to serve as propaganda outlets for the Reich. The Nazi Party made widespread use of music in its publicity, and music featured prominently at rallies and other public events.
