About the event
In 1941, a Jewish chorale group was formed in the Nazi concentration camp of Terazin. The group was asked to perform Verdi's Requiem in front of Nazi officers and Red Cross officials. Despite the horrific circumstances of their captivity, the performers used their voices and the musical artistry to send a desperate message to the outside world.
