Auditorium, Chazen Museum of Art
Description
Music in the Holocaust is often perceived as means of hope, resistance, and inspiration. However, a dark side existed: the Nazi regime employed music as propaganda, for inciting riots, and as a form of torture. Hence, music was experienced in profoundly different ways: it could sooth, comfort, and inspire hope as well as serve as a means of pain. Join Teryl (Teri) Dobbs, PhD, professor emerita, UW-Madison, in this public talk as she explores the complicated musical experience of the Holocaust.
