This event commemorates Fritz Löhner-Beda's musical legacy and tells the story of a man whose songs enchanted the world, while he himself was denied his humanity. The program highlights the ambivalence of music as a means of hope, but also of humiliation and propaganda.

Komische Oper Berlin: Schillertheater - Foyer
Fritz Löhner-Beda was one of the most successful librettists and pop songwriters of the interwar period, yet his name is almost forgotten today. As a Jewish artist, he was persecuted, deported, and ultimately murdered in the I.G. Farben camp in Auschwitz III Monowitz. The concert focuses on his musical legacy, including the so-called “Buna Song,” which Löhner-Beda wrote in the concentration camp and which prisoners were forced to sing.
