Emissary of the Doomed
The official little known WWII story of a desperate attempt to save Hungary's Jewish population When Nazi troops invaded in March 1944, Hungary contained the largest intact Jewish population in Europe. Until then, stories of Auschwitz and other "resettlement camps" were still treated as unconfirmed rumors inside Hungary and among the Allied powers. With the arrival of Adolf Eichmann-and reports from the first escapees from Auschwitz confirming the most horrifying rumors about the camps-the 850,000 Jews of Hungary faced annihilation. Emissary of the Doomed is the riveting and heartbreaking account of the heroic attempt to save Hungary's Jewish population. Learning that Eichmann and Himmler we...
Tragedy at Évian
In July 1938 the United States, Great Britain and thirty other countries participated in a vital conference at Évian-les-Bains, France, to discuss the persecution and possible emigration of the European Jews, specifically those caught under the anvil of Nazi atrocities. However, most of those nations rejected the pleas then being made by the Jewish communities, thus condemning them to the Holocaust. There is no doubt that the Évian conference was a critical turning point in world history. The disastrous outcome of the conference set the stage for the murder of six million people. Today we live in a world defined by turmoil with a disturbing rise of authoritarian governments and ultra right...

Das mehrbändige Werk Quellen zur Geschichte emigrierter Musiker 1933-1950 verzeichnet Sammlungen von Dokumenten zur Musikgeschichte des Exils, die zum großen Teil bisher weder ediert noch in publizierten Verzeichnissen katalogisiert sind.

Jeder Band erfasst Sammlungen von Dokumenten an Standorten der jeweiligen Region. Die Quellen -- z. B.

Erfasst sind Dokumente zur Verfolgung und zum Emigrationsweg, zum Wirken der Emigranten in ihrer neuen Heimat, zur Reflexion der Exilsituation, zu Ereignissen der Zeitgeschichte und nicht zuletzt zum Musikleben in der Emigration. Im Anhang jedes Bandes werden ausgewählte Quellen abgedruckt, die die Bedingungen des Exils und die unterschiedlichen Lebenswege der Musiker veranschaulichen.

The Real Toscanini
(Amadeus). Lauded by Verdi, Debussy, and other music legends, the celebrated conductor Arturo Toscanini raised the standards of orchestral and operatic performance over an astonishing 69 years on the podium. But as he did so, he acquired a reputation as something of a tyrant, who unleashed an explosive temper at musicians if rehearsals did not meet his expectations. In The Real Toscanini , Cesare Civetta presents an intriguing collection of vivid, one-of-a-kind interviews with artists who performed with Toscanini. A portrait of the inner workings of the maestro emerges through these extensive conversations, conducted by the author over a period of 20 years, together with other firsthand reco...
