Description

Story of two Jewish Jazz musician survivors of Auschwitz and the top drummer of the Third Reich propaganda jazz band who played on the same stage together some 40 years later. This documentary is on the history of Jazz music during the Third Reich. Though the Nazis hated jazz music for all that made it great, they also employed it both to raise morale among the front line troops and to broadcast poisonous propaganda to the Allies overseas, while at the same time imprisoning, beating and sometimes executing those of their citizens who listened to or peformed it.
