Music on the brink of destruction: Lecture by Professor Shirli Gilbert
Professor Shirli Gilbert, Professor of Modern Jewish History at University College London and Director of the Sir Martin Gilbert Learning Centre, joins the Retired Fellows Society to deliver the lecture ‘Music on the brink of destruction.
An extraordinary range of musical activities, both forced and voluntary, took place in the Nazi ghettos and camps, from the earliest internment centres established in 1933 until the liberation in 1945. The musical works created by prisoners there are extraordinary documents from the time, fragments recovered from the rubble of war and genocide.
In this talk, Professor Gilbert will present original songs from this period, including some rare post-war recordings. The songs offer rich insight into victims’ experiences, conveying the uncertain and shifting perspectives of prisoner communities as they made sense of lived reality.
