The Camp at Terezín

During World War II, the transition camp at Terezín was a vital, creative haven for Jewish artists of all kinds. At least, that’s the story the Nazis told to the world. The reality was far darker. On this special edition of Soundcheck, we hear a survivor’s memories of the so-called “art camp” – which really did produce some enduring music and art. And The Nash Ensemble from England will play some of the music created in the camp at Terezín.

TENEMENT MUSEUM

The Tenement Museum preserves and interprets the history of immigration through the personal experiences of the generations of newcomers who settled in and built lives on Manhattan's Lower East Side, America's iconic immigrant neighborhood; forges emotional connections between visitors and immigrants past and present; and enhances appreciation for the profound role immigration has played and continues to play in shaping America's evolving national identity.
