This music above was composed in the The Czech Republic. "Jane, where and what is the Czech Republic?" Well, that's a good question poorly traveled moron. The Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The country is bordered by Germany to the west, Austria to the south, Slovakia to the east and Poland to the north. Prague is the largest city (the capital), and keep in mind that Prague never got bombed during the war, which frankly is pretty freaking weird.
The Nazi cinematic propaganda machine filmed a performance of this particular completed work as part of their 1944 propaganda film enterprise led by Joseph Goebels. The work was written by Czech Republic prisoners. Almost immediately after filming was completed, members of the orchestra were executed. Only the conductor survived the killings ...
With the "Holocaust" (WWII was well documented), Jane wonders how many musical masterpieces were exterminated by our own personalized homegrown Holocaust in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA 1921. At Tulsa, Germans did not bomb (i.e. exterminate) innocent people, trained musicians or buildings, but our own United States National Guard did ...
Wow! Huh? Yep. So does 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma "strike a chord" with you? And again, isn't it so fascinating that Prague never was bombed. Prague was kept untarnished during "that" war and has remained preserved without one single bombed building. It is probably a good vacation spot to visit one day for nice locally composed outdoor music and fine dining - minus any recreational history book reading on the trip over there, okay.p.s. ...but if you are going to read anything on the way back home read Zinn's, "The People's History of the United States." Get it while its hot, as it is currently being banned from schools in the U.S. by politicians as we speak (Indiana's Purdue University just got marked)! bye today (buy it today).
