| Wigmore Hall, London, United Kingdom Saturday 19-Jun-10 19:30 Nash Ensemble The name Theresienstadt (or Terezín to give it its Czech name) has become synonymous with the greatest propaganda lie in the Nazi reign of terror. Virtually the whole of the Jewish cultural elite was forced to live in the concentration camp located 60km from Prague. The Nazis used the camp as a showcase, allowing inmates to stage a whole range of entertainments, including plays, concerts, operas, cabaret and café concerts, for the entertainment of visitors who even included the International Red Cross. In reality the prisoners were being starved, which, combined with hard labour, meant a daily struggle for survival. There could be no greater contrast between this and the extraordinarily varied and creative work produced by the camp inmates. The Nash weekend seeks to offer a reminder of these struggles through the presentation of films and talks (which include conversations with camp survivors), a children's art exhibition, and the performance of works by composers whose exceptional talent was so cruelly cut short. Ultimately the ensemble celebrates the triumph of the human spirit over adversity and intolerance. Strauss, Adolf (1902-1944), Ich weiß bestimmt, ich werd dich wiedersehn!
