No other musical genre was shaped by Jewish composers and librettists like the operetta. Of those who created countless masterpieces, not a few were persecuted by the Nazi regime, driven into exile or murdered like Fritz Grünbaum or Fritz Löhner-Beda. The latter even wrote the lyrics to Hitler's favorite song "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz".
