This is a follow-up to the Viktor Ullman episode, recorded in August 2022(link at end). Again - I am fortunate to interview Mark Ludwig (Director of the Terezin Music Foundation) and learn about the women at Terezin and their role in the music and the arts at this concentration camp. Though Terezín’s male composers — Gideon Klein, Viktor Ullmann, Hans Krása and others — are well known, many outstandingly talented women were at the epicenter of the camp’s cultural community as well. 

 In this episdoe we will learn about the life and artistry of poet and composer Ilse Weber and about how she and women like Regina Jonas, who was the first ordained woman rabbi, and Bauhaus artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis helped their fellow prisoners transcend the horrors of Terezín. There were also the singers, pianists, and educators who comforted and enriched life within the walls of this concentration camp. Two images of the artwork from the children in Terezin will be posted at the podcast website, in the Viktor Ullman page (link).
