  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

  • 100 Jahre Jura Soyfer
    DÖW DOKUMENTATIONSARCHIV DES ÖSTERREICHISCHEN WIDERSTANDES FOLGE 209 Mitteilungen DEZEMBER 2012 100 JAHRE JURA SOYFER Schon lange ist Jura Soyfer, „einer der großen Außenseiter der österreichischen Literatur" (Wendelin Schmidt-Dengler), kein Geheimtipp unter Literaturinteressierten mehr. Nur knapp 26 Jahre alt war er, als er – als Jude, Kommunist und antifaschistischer Autor vom NS-Regime verfolgt – im KZ Buchenwald umkam. Nach Kriegsende gerieten seine Texte für Jahrzehnte in Vergessenheit und erlebten erst in den späten 1970er-Jahren eine Renaissance. Am 8. Dezember 2012 jährt sich sein Geburtstag zum 100. Mal – ein willkommener Anlass, an Soyfer und sein Schaffen erneut zu erinnern. Unter anderen schildert Wolfgang Neugebauer, 1983–2004 wissenschaftlicher Leiter des DÖW, im Folgenden, wie sich der spätere Gründer und Leiter des DÖW Herbert Steiner zunächst im englischen Exil, dann in Österreich für die öffentliche Rezeption von Soyfers Texten engagierte. ORF 2 zeigt am 8. Dezember ein Soyfer gewidmetes Österreich-Bild, in dem ehemalige Weggefährten zu Wort kommen und Ausschnitte aus verschiedenen Fernsehaufzeichnungen von Soyfer-Werken präsentiert werden. (S. 3 ff.)

  • Music in Concentration Camps 1933 Music In
    Music in Concentration Camps 19331933––––19451945 GUIDO FACKLER Translated from the German by Peter Logan (Würzburg) It would be wrong to reduce the “Music of the Shoah” (Holocaust/ churbn ) to the Yiddish songs from the ghetto camps of Eastern Europe or to the multiple activities in the realm of classical or Jewish music found in the ghetto camp at Theresienstadt (Terezín), which of course enjoyed a special status as a model camp. It would be equally wrong to restrict our view of music in concentration camps to the “Moorsoldatenlied” (“The Peat Bog Soldiers”), the “Buchenwald Song,” the “Dachau Song,” or the so-called “Girls’ Orchestra in Auschwitz,” described by Fania Fénelon – also the subject of the Hollywood film entitled “Playing for Time”. 1 Instead of this, I wish to address the topic of musical activities in general in the concentration camps. 2 Thus this chapter is about those camps that the Nazi regime started to erect just a few weeks after Hitler’s assumption of power; these camps formed the seed from which the entire system of Nazi camps grew, and which eventually consisted of over 10,000 camps of various kinds. 3 In fact music was an integral part of camp life in almost all the Nazi-run camps. The questions covered by my research include: how was it possible to play music in these camps? What musical forms developed there? What, under these circumstances was the function, the effect and the significance of music for both the suffering inmates and the guards who inflicted the suffering? And how was the extent of musical activities affected by the development of the concentration camp system? My research is based on extensive archive work, the study of memoirs and literature, and interviews with witnesses.

The refrain ‘Arbeit macht frei’ was an allusion to the motto affixed to the concentration camp gates. Both Soyfer and Zipper were subsequently transferred to KZ Buchenwald, where Soyfer perished in 1939, while Zipper was released and survived the war to pen the English translation quoted here.

  • Online Service of Remembrance for the 75Th Anniversary of the Liberation on 29Th April
    Online Service of Remembrance for the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation on 29th April In March all public services of remembrance for the 75thanniversary of the liberation of Dachau concentration camp were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Protestant Church of Reconciliation at the concentration camp memorial site received requests from Nick Hope (95), who survived Dachau and now lives in the USA, and from Jeremy Stuehmeyer in England, whose father Henry Stuehmeyer (1925-2018) was with his unit the 42nd Rainbow Division when they liberated the camp on 29th April 1945. They requested a recording of a service of remembrance for the 75th anniversary of the liberation, in English too. In this way the families of the survivors and liberators of the camp, who now live all over the world and would have liked to have visited Dachau for the anniversary, can have a digital presence at the site for this year’s commemorations. The Church of Reconciliation will record a short ecumenical service on the 27th April. The church was consecrated in 1967 in the presence of survivors from several countries and is located on the actual site of the prisoner camp, not far from the crematorium. A Catholic chaplaincy is also active at the site. The professionally produced video will be published in both English and German versions on the 29th April 2020 at 5pm, the time at which, seventy- five years ago, over 32,000 men, women and children began to be liberated in Dachau. US soldiers reached them between 5 – 5.30pm that day.

Dezember 1912 als Sohn des jüdischen Industriellen Wladimir Soyfer und dessen Frau Ljubow in der ukrainischen Stadt Charkiw zur Welt. 1920 flieht die Familie vor der Russischen Revolution über Istanbul nach Wien. Jura besucht von da an das Realgymnasium Hagenmüllergasse in Erdberg. Im Roten Wien findet das Emigrantenkind eine „provisorische Heimat“. 1927, nach dem Justizpalastbrand, tritt Jura dem Verband der Sozialistischen Mittelschüler (VSM) bei. Er wird eines der aktivsten Mitglieder in der Gruppe der „Achtzehner“, einer weit links der Partei stehenden VSM-Gruppe in Währing. Der selbstbewusste und genialische junge Mann, der Russisch, Französisch und Deutsch beherrscht, eignet sich in kurzer Zeit die österreichische Literatur an und entwickelt bald ein erstaunliches Gespür für den spielerischen Umgang mit Sprache.

  • Ecumenical Service for the 75Th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Dachau Concentration Camp
    Ecumenical Service for the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Dachau Concentration Camp Bell rings to begin the service Welcome The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all evermore. Amen. Jesus Christ says: For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. (Mt. 18,20) There are five of us here today in the Protestant Church of Reconciliation, on the site of the former Dachau Concentration Camp. On this, the 75th anniversary of the camp’s liberation, we would like to remember the victims of this place of terror. My name is Björn Mensing, and I am the pastor of this church. Here with me are music student Sophie Aeckerle, Ludwig Schmidinger from the Catholic chaplaincy to the site, and Deacon Klaus Schultz. With us behind the camera is Axel Mölkner-Kappl. He is filming our act of rememberance so that those who wish to can watch this recording at home at 5pm on the 29th April – the time at which the liberation took place – or later. The church is currently closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Public services and events are sadly not possible at this time. We would like to especially welcome you, the survivors of the concentration camp system, as well as you, the allied liberators, and your families. We know that several of you will be watching this at home. This is a great joy and honour, and we do not take this for granted – especially given the involvement of the German churches in National Socialism.
