Holocaust Remembrance Day — Anywhere & Everywhere 325/365


People commemorate today the bestiality of the Shoah. Never again! My little contribution is having translated a book by Simon Laks to rise awareness in the Spanish speaking countries. The book, published by Herder, came out this week! Laks was the conductor of the prisoners’ orchestra in Auschwitz-Birkenau. After the war he wrote two versions of his memoirs, focusing on the impact of music on the daily life at the extermination camp. One of the most touching books I’ve ever read.
