Sounds of Survival

Polish Music and the Holocaust

Inhalt

"Sounds of Survival demonstrates Mackenzie Pierce's care in attending to silences embedded in narratives of Polish cultural continuity during the Second World War. Drawing on an astounding array of archive and press materials, Pierce challenges readers to recognize the personal and institutional labor that shaped those national narratives, which had a profound effect on Polish musical life for decades afterward."--Lisa Cooper Vest, author of Awangarda: Tradition and Modernity in Postwar Polish Music

"A major intellectual history with extraordinary significance as scholars ask how art music in Europe has been a site for the contestation of difference. This beautifully crafted book is a model twentieth-century history that shows how lives in music do not stop and start at the fissures of war."--Andrea F. Bohlman, author of Musical Solidarities: Political Action and Music in Late Twentieth-Century Poland

"This remarkable and pathbreaking volume examines the evolution of the classical music scene in Poland from the 1920s to the height of Stalinism in the early 1950s. It is a moving testimony to the redemptive character of music and to its ability, on occasion, to overcome ethnic and religious difference. Essential reading for all those interested in the tragic fate of Europe in the twentieth century."--Antony Polonsky, Professor Emeritus of Holocaust Studies, Brandeis University, and Chief Historian, Global Education Outreach Project, Museum of Polish Jews in Warsaw
