Dr. Nurit Jugend, Director and Project Producer

I became passionate about music during the Holocaust about 2 years ago, at which time I began my research:

During my research, I came across a testimony of a young boy that was ordered to play his violin, only to be shot to death during his play by an SS officer. When I read this testimony, my body choked and my heart ached. Many thoughts and feelings flashed before my eyes; the little boy and his violin, my cousin Lilly, myself as a little girl playing the violin, the innocence, the pure, the beauty and hope all destroyed by a single shot. Ironically, a couple of days later, I received a call from a 13-year-old violin player who wanted to take music lessons. As I listened to a recording of him playing the violin, my eyes filled with tears, and I knew...! At that moment I felt a great sense of joy and victory. Everything fell in my mind into place right there and then. I realized that music had the power to survive and surpass all evil. It exists beyond any words, religion or faith. Music is a universal language that can speak to every man, and penetrate every single sole. 

It has been said that the need to create during the Holocaust, demonstrates one’s hope and strong will to live. And that hope is one of the most powerful emotions necessary for survival. Despite the Shoah, it is through my own existence and ability to create music, that I carry feelings of hope and proof of victory; the power of human survival to continue living and overcome trauma and genocide, the power of music to exist beyond any act of evil.
