On 4 February 2024, Detlef Bensmann and Itay Dvori (Duo ID) organised a concert to mark the 100th birthday of Selma Meerbaum.
Due to the positive response and the importance of the topic – not to let the victims of National Socialism be forgotten – Duo ID will perform again, but with a different programme, in the festival hall of Britz Castle.
A special virtual guest will be the composer Ursula Mamlok, whose 100th birthday is celebrated this year.
Her work ‘Rückblick’, composed in New York in 2006, reflects on the Reichsprogromnacht on 9 November 1938, which Mamlok experienced in Berlin before she managed to flee to America.
During this time, Selma Meerbaum wrote poems for her lover in Czernowitz before she was deported to an SS labour camp in 1942 and died on 16 December of the same year.
At the concert, poems by Selma Meerbaum will be read by Itay Dvori and Detlef Bensmann, with musical accompaniment and commentary.
The programme includes pieces by Erwin Schulhoff, Wolfgang Jacobi and Paul Dessau, whose compositions were banned during the Nazi era.
