Set against the grim backdrop of Nazi Germany, this work tells the riveting tale of two Jewish musicians who strove to perform under unimaginable circumstances and fell in love. In 1936, Gunther Goldschmidt and Rosemarie Gumpert - along with countless other Jews - were banned from all German orchestras except those organised by the Jewish Kulturbund. Created under the auspices of Goebbels' "Ministry of Information and Propaganda" to show the outside world how well Jews were treated under the Third Reich, the Kulturbund backfired on the Nazis, becoming a haven for Jewish artists and offering much-needed spiritual enrichment for a besieged people. Simply told by their son, Martin Goldsmith, here is a poignant account of how a flautist and a violinist overcame impossible odds to remain together.
