14 selected poems by CURT BLOCH from the “Unter-Wasser-Cabaret” (1943-45), set to music by Winfried Radeke.
Curt Bloch, born in Dortmund in 1908, was banned from working in his profession in 1933 after studying law, which applied to all people of the Jewish faith. After increasing hostility, he fled to the Netherlands. When systematic deportations began after the invasion of the Wehrmacht in 1942, Curt Bloch went into hiding.
In his hiding place, Curt Bloch began to create small magazines with poems he had written himself in August 1943. The title of the magazines: Het Onderwater-Cabaret (the underwater cabaret). The magazines were read by other people in hiding and their helpers. He survived the time in hiding until his liberation in 1945. After the war, he stayed in the Netherlands for another three years, then emigrated to the USA. Bloch died in New York on February 14, 1975.
In 2024, Winfried Radeke set fourteen poems from his “Onderwater Cabaret” to music and arranged them.
