songs composed by
musicians imprisoned in the Theresienstadt concentration
camp. These songs, which helped the prisoners cope with the
uncertainty and constant fear that marked life in the camp, will
be given voice by Rachel Joselson, soprano and music professor
at the University of Iowa, and her accompanist and university
colleague, Réne Lecuona. Through the music of these gifted
composers, we will preserve the memory of their lives and
their tragic loss.
