| Summary: | Although the subject of music during the Holocaust has received increasing scholarly attention in recent years, discussions have tended to address musical-cultural life in Theresienstadt, the “model” ghetto/camp that the Nazis established for propaganda purposes. Music-making among prisoners in other concentration camps and ghettos, by comparison, remains largely unexplored, especially in English-language scholarship. Shirli Gilbert's book would seem, then, a welcome contribution. However, this interesting and occasionally useful study's title—perhaps formulated by the publisher—suggests a more comprehensive treatment of the subject than the work discloses. |
