Karl Littner - ein jüdischer Junge aus Auschwitz-Zasole - gibt mit seinen sehr persönlichen Kindheits- und Jugenderinnerungen einen seltenen Einblick in das jüdische Leben und den Antisemitismus in seiner Heimatstadt Oswiecim - Oschpitzin - Auschwitz noch vor dem Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges. In seiner anschließenden Odyssee berichtet er bisher unveröffentlichte Details über einige weniger bekannte deutsche Zwangsarbeitslager wie Raupenau-Kotzenau, Hermannsdorf, Groß-Masselwitz oder Grünberg, in denen er in den Jahren 1941 bis 1943 als Jugendlicher über das Durchgangslager Sosnowitz (Sosnowiec) durch das nationalsozialistische Deutschland erbarmungslos ausgebeutet wurde.

With his very personal memoirs, Karl Littner - a Jewish boy from Auschwitz-Zasole - gives insight into Jewish life and anti-Semitism in his hometown Oswiecim - Oshpitzin - Auschwitz, Poland before the Second World War. Along with his odyssey, he gives details about some not so well known German forced labor camps like ZAL Raupenau-Kotzenau, Hermannsdorf, Gross Masselwitz, or Grünberg which he passed through in the years 1941 to 1943 via Transfer Camp Sosnowitz (Sosnowiec). He offers his very personal experiences about the difficult life and the systematic terror of the SS and its helpers against Jewish families in Ghetto Sosnowitz/Srodula before he managed to survive Concentration Camp Auschwitz-Birkenau and Gross-Rosen-Fünfteichen by being sent to Concentration Camp Mauthausen-Gusen II, where he was near his end in the huge underground aircraft plant "Bergkristall"at St. Georgen/Gusen. Although his new life began with the liberation from Nazi terror in Concentration Camp Gusen II, Karl Littner describes also the difficult way back into ordinary life. His path to success led him with his German wife Miriam via Straubing and Tel Aviv to Chicago and finally Los Angeles.

"The Oxford Handbook of Community Singing shows in abundant detail that singing with others is thriving. Using an array of interdisciplinary methods, chapter authors prioritize participation rather than performance and provide finely grained accounts of group singing in community, music therapy, religious, and music education settings. Themes associated with protest, incarceration, nation, hymnody, group bonding, identity, and inclusivity infuse the 47 chapters. Written almost wholly during the 2020-21 COVID-19 pandemic, the Handbook features a section dedicated to collective singing facilitated by audiovisual or communications media (mediated singing), some of it quarantine-mandated. The last of eight substantial sections is a repository of new theories about how group singing practices work. Throughout, the authors problematize the limitations inherited from the western European choral music tradition and report on workable new remedies to counter those constraints"--
