Rhythmus Jazz Buchenwald | 20230910

Rhythmus was a jazz orchestra in the Buchenwald concentration camp in which a total of 23 musicians from 9 different countries played together from 1943 until the liberation.
Czech prisoners around Jiří Žák took the initiative to found this orchestra in the summer of 1943.

Among the French prisoners that later joined, were Yves Darriet – the bandleader , who wrote most arrangements , and Robert Widerman – the band’s singer , who made a career as Robert Clary on Broadway after the war.

Two programs are known to have been performed in November 1944 and April 19, 1945, i.e. 8 days after the liberation of the camp (Ref 1) , including compositions by Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton and pieces by Cole Porter, Fats Waller, Glenn Miller and Louis Armstrong. In The Mood was performed even though this music was banned in Nazi Germany.

Thanks to Maurice Lévêque’s postcards we now have many early 1900s images from the Picardy seaside resorts Onival and Ault, where he opened his atelier in 1905 at 26 Grande Rue. I found his atelier today in this postcard of the Grande Rue in Ault, he made before WW1. One of his postcards “3. – AULT. – La Plage et les Falaises, côté Cayeux” — which by the way shows 28. Grande-Rue — that was sent Aug 28th 1911 by Maria … was used in my recent film illustrating erosion of the coast over the last 100 years (see : Erosion Cliffs Ault 1911-2022 | Falaise #154 | 20230814 | 1-memo•com).

Samudaripen – Genocide of the Gypsies – Claire Auzias

The French author, historian and libertarian, Claire Auzias researches social movements, women’s history and Roma’s history (1). She has written several works on the Roma’s history in the last 20 years. Samudaripen, the Genocide of the Gypsies, first appeared in 1999/2000 (2,3), and is now followed by the 3rd edition (4) published by L’Esprit Frappeur (Paris).
In her book Samudaripen, Claire Auzias sheds light on this poorly documented genocide in the III Reich , Eastern Europe, and Western Europe. This entirely revised 3rd edition now includes two new chapters — one on Switzerland by Claire Auzias, and one on The Netherlands by Erik Van Den Muijzenberg. Claire Auzias , in her foreword (5) : “…the patient discovery of the identity of an anonymous icon of the deportation, in the guise of a Dutch Sinti girl, made the chapter on the Netherlands obligatory, at least for those of the French gypsies who do not read foreign languages.”
