Philip Markowicz: "I like that
"Tikvah" is upbeat and really about
hope.

instrumentalists asked him to compose
for their group, and he decided to use
the Markowicz memoirs, My Three
Lives, as his base once he learned
about them from a mutual friend.
The memoirs, not published for the
general public, tell how Markowicz
was forced into the Lodz Ghetto and
Auschwitz. They explain how he came
to separate the segments of his exis-
tence — the time before World War
II, the time during the Holocaust and
the time after the fighting.

out to be more than I imagined," says
Polacek, who teaches at the Merit
School of Music in addition to tour-
ing. "The music that -Burton wrote has
a jazz influence and is very powerful.
My group is on stage the entire time."
Haraszti, who has appeared in pro-
grams with her husband, dances in
various portions of Tikvah.
"Burton's music is very rhythmical,"
she says. "This work is very emotional,
and I've had to create various fantasies
related to the memoirs to prepare the
choreography and then dance."
Rae will experience a strong contrast
as she vocalizes in Tikvah.
Communicating the life story of her
grandfather is very different from
appearing in Hair, the musical in
which she currently is cast for a
Connecticut run.

Vocalist Andrea Rae will sing the lyrics
based on her grandfather's memoirs.

Emotional Work

The new writer decided to reveal his
experiences at the urging of family
members so that they would under-
stand their heritage. He also wanted to
combat what Holocaust deniers were
claiming.
"Usually the Holocaust is remem-
bered through books and speeches, so
this concert is very exciting," says
Markowicz, 81, who owned an appli;
ance store. "I like that Tikvah is
upbeat and really about hope.
"I wanted to stress that my strength
came from reading the Torah and the
Talmud and listening to my father
teach that good always will win over
evil. The Nazis could imprison my
body, but they couldn't imprison my
mind."
Bryan Polacek, who performs on the
baritone sax for the Atlas Quartet, was
looking through a book on the
Holocaust when he came up with the
idea for a musical performance. He
saw a picture of an orchestra at a con-
centration camp and wanted to do a
piece with saxophones because the
Nazis had banned them.
"We've been working on this pro-
gram for three years, and it has turned

"I think of Tikvah as a theatrical
oratorio," says Rae, also a cantorial
soloist. "I originally saw my grandfa-
ther's memoirs after he completed his
first draft, but I knew his general story
before then. My grandfather is an
important figure in my life, and I'm
honored to be part of the piece that
honors him. By doing this, I get to
share him with the rest of the world,
and that's very special.
"I hope that the audience can take
away the sense of how important it is
to go on living no matter what. With
any survivor, the idea is to figure out
how beautiful life can be." Li

Tikvah: A Concert of Hope and
Remembrance will be performed
at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, May
25, at the Holocaust Memorial
Center, 28123 Orchard Lake
Road, in Farmington Hills.
$20/$15 students, with reserva,
tions preferred. The museum will
open at 5:30 p.m. for tours
before the presentation. (248)
