RobertsI never knew anything about my ballet teacher's past nor the history of the Dr Zipper concerts in my grammer school. While no mention of me and my stellar performance as a carrot in Trudl's recital was made, the book was interesting and engaging. Herbert Zipper was born in 1904 in Hapsburg, Vienna. He was educated in the finest academies, studying under Richard Strauss and Maurice Ravel, among others, and became a conductor-composer in Germany in the early 1930s. When Hitler became Chancellor, he hastened back to Vienna, composing music for underground cabarets. In 1938, after the Anschluss, he was sent to Dachau and transferred to Buchenwald (1939). In Dachau, he organized clandestine concerts in an abandoned latrine. He and prisonmate Jura Soyfer also composed a song, «The Dachau Lied», which was to have an extraordinary history. He was released from Buchenwald and journeyed to Manila to marry the love of his life and to conduct the Manila Symphony Orchestra. When the Japanese invaded (1942), he was put in prison again. A few weeks after the liberation of Manila, out of the rubble of the city he created an extraordinary concert. After the war he came to America, was responsible for the founding of over a dozen community arts schools, and has been an internationally effective educator. Throughout his remarkable journey, Zipper maintained a spirit of hope and achievement. This is a story of the triumph of human will and spirit. «Zipper, you didn’t omit a chance to be killed.» (Otto Klemperer, Conductor) «Don’t forget, Zipper, this whole civilization of man has been built by very few people, and I’m talking to one.» (John D. Rockefeller III To Herbert Zipper) «I read the book with growing suspense. It is written with crystal clarity and with a knowledge of European dimensions rarely found among Americans! » (Sebastian Feldman, Writer for the Rheinische Post, Dusseldorf, Germany) «In Dachau, Herbert Zipper secretly led an orchestra. He survived the Nazis to champion his beloved art.» (Patricia Ward Biederman, Los Angeles Times)About the AuthorPaul Cummins attended Stanford University (BA, 1959), Harvard University (M.A.T., 1960), and the University of Southern California (PhD, 1967). For more than 40 years, Dr. Cummins has devoted his career to creating opportunities for all children to have equitable access to quality education. In 1971, he co-founded Crossroads School and built it into one of the city’s most successful independent schools, now well respected nationwide as a progenitor of Engaged Education. In 1995, he founded New Visions Foundation to serve as a catalyst in educational and social innovations for disadvantaged children and youth. As Founder, President, and CEO of New Visions Foundation, Cummins continued to create successful models of Engaged Education, founding New Roads School, another now-renowned independent school based on principles of social justice and diversity, as well as three charter schools and a nonprofit organization, PS Arts, which provides arts classes to children in title I schools. In addition, New Visions has implemented several innovative Engaged Education programs that help at-risk children and youth, including foster youth, those in the juvenile justice system, and economically disadvantaged children and youth. Also a prolific author, Cummins has written several books on education, two volumes of poetry, a collection of essays, a biography of Herbert Zipper, an autobiography, and three children’s books. He lives in Santa Monica with his wife Mary Ann. They have four daughters and three grandchildren. [WwZ5l.ebook] Dachau Song: The Twentieth-Century Odyssey of Herbert Zipper By Paul F.

  • 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.

Hoelbling 4 Given the manifold points of interaction between Austria and America throughout the 20th century, the 11 essays from the contributions of the 2015 conference hosted by the Salzburg Stefan Zweig Center are necessarily eclectic. Yet thanks to judicious selection by the editors, they suggest the width and variety of cross-cultural encounters between the successor state of the former Austrian-Hungarian Empire and the 20th-century superpower. 5 Examining the historical roots of official relations, Jonathan W. Singerton's introductory contribution takes us back to the year 1838, offers interesting details about intermittent contacts starting sixty years earlier, and also corrects prevailing views about the mission of William Lee, the “militia diplomat” appointed as envoy to the courts of Vienna and Berlin in 1777.

  • Extract from the Article by Margit Franz (PDF)
    Setagaya Park, Vienna Exile in Transit Erinnerungen 71 Exile in Transit. Austrians in Exile in South, South East and East Asia Margit Franz “The way we encounter people who have been brutally thrown off course by war and terror, have been forced to flee or have otherwise been marginalised must be such that we can look them in the eye and at ourselves in the mirror”,1 said Austria’s Federal President at the opening of the Salzburg Festival 2015. Most refugees who have made it to Austria come today from Asia, from war-torn Syria and Afghanistan.2 When Austria was violently annihilated in 1938 und integrated into National Socialist Germany, the stream of refugees flowed in the opposite direction: at least 7,500 Austrians found refuge from National Socialism and a chance to survive in Asia3 – without counting Palestine, which took in 15,200 refugees.4 Countries that are found at the top of Austria’s current refugee statistic then played the role of receiving countries to Austrian refugees fleeing from National Socialism: Afghanistan took in at least 20, Syria 75, Iraq 85 Jewish Austrian refugees, neighbouring Iran 80 – with new research creating a constant need for upward revision as employment contracts in the fields of technology and medicine enabled more people to gain entrance in these countries and people found refuge there who were not Jewish.5 1 Heinz Fischer, Inaugural speech at the Salzburg Festival 2015. Quoted from: ORF, ZIB 1, 26 July 2015. 2 Syria and Afghanistan are at the top of the Austrian list of first-time asylum applications filed between January and May 2015, with 5,233 and 3,833 refugees respectively.

Bachrich first studied law at the University of Vienna and then studied music with Carl Prohaska and Carl Lafite. He studied privately with Arnold Schoenberg from June 1916 eventually taking part in Schoenberg's composition seminar. He conducted the Vienna Volksoper from 1920 to 1925 while he also conducted the Jewish sports club orchestra “Hakoah.” In 1928, he became Kapellmeister at the Düsseldorf Theatre and in 1931, he took up the same post in Duisburg. In 1936, he collaborated with Marcel Rubin and Friedrich Wildgans to organize a series of concerts in Vienna, entitled "Music of the Present". Ernst Bachrich Composer, conductor On 15 May 1942, the Nazis deported him to Izbica.

Combining elements of German idealism or Romanticism, historical materialism and Jewish mysticism, Benjamin made enduring and influential contributions to aesthetic theory and Western Marxism, and is associated with the Frankfurt School.

  • Reality Is the Satire – the Will to Hope in The
    “Reality Is the Satire:” The Will to Hope in the Writings of Jura Soyfer Madelyn Stone Northeastern University 15 May 2016 1 Jura Soyfer wrote his final piece as a prisoner. A poem, lyrics set to music by composer and fellow inmate Herbert Zipper, “Dachau Song” resonated with the themes that had occupied Soyfer’s work throughout his brief career. In the yard of the concentration camp, six months before the outbreak of World War II, where the largely political prisoners found their freedom curtailed to the most extreme degree, the men sang the verses with recognition of their satiric force. The words spoke powerfully to this most extreme case of oppression, through stanzas teeming with vivid imagery and feeling: Heave the stone and drag the truck, Let no load’s oppression show, In your days of youth and luck You thought lightly; now you know. Plunge your spade in earth and shovel Pity where heart cannot feel, Purged in your own sweat and trouble Be yourself like stone and steel.1 They hold a resonance today, even beyond their historic and literary value. The dictum of the chorus, “Arbeit macht frei,” posed a dark irony against the landscape of 1930s Western Europe, but the glint of humor and hope in the critical awareness of this irony allowed meaning in a reality that felt like satire itself. Jura Soyfer was born in Kharkov, the first capital of Ukraine, on December 8, 1912. His parents were Jewish, his father a middle class businessman working in the Russian steel industry. A governess taught Soyfer and his sister French.
