Speaker: Mark Ludwig

Our Will to Live (2022) commemorates the artistic spirit of the Terezín artists who were murdered during the Holocaust. Join us online with TMF director and Fulbright music scholar Mark Ludwig, in this musical journey into the astonishing cultural community that persevered in this Nazi camp. 

Together we will learn about newly translated writings, rarely seen art, as well as both vintage and new music tracks which amplify the voices silenced by the Holocaust, bringing the fullest picture yet of this unique time in Jewish history.
