Here is a short video I took of the
Verstummte Stimmen exhibition that is currently just outside of the
Bayreuth Festspilehaus, in the garden that surrounds the bust of
Richard Wagner. It is a moving tribute to the scores of artists that were forbidden to performed at the Festspielhaus because they were Jewish. Many of them fell victims to the Nazis in the death camps during World War II. It is an unforgettable, sad, moving experience. A sobering reminder of times past, made even more so because the Festspilehaus itself is only steps away.
