Another outstanding, insightful essay by @alexrossmusic in this week's @NewYorker

[Music and the Holocaust @holocaust_music]

Before deportation, pianist Eliška Kleinová (born #OTD 1912) taught music to support herself and her brother. He and Hans Krasa planned to save their music in Terezín by entrusting manuscripts to Irma Semtzka later given to Eliška in Prague after the war.
