"From Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 until the liberation of the last camps in 1945, music played an integral role in daily life under Nazism. Marching music and songs featured prominently at Nazi party rallies and Hitler Youth meetings, ‘Jewish’ and other ‘degenerate’ music was from early on a target of attack and censorship in Nazi Germany, and in the many ghettos and camps that were established before and during the war, music formed a part of inmates’ experiences in diverse and sometimes unexpected ways.
On this website, you will find information about music from the Nazi accession to power in 1933 until the end of the Second World War, as well as music that has been produced in commemoration of the Holocaust since 1945. We’ve included a range of articles that cover some of the most important themes, people, and places, as well as a wide variety of sound recordings that include both songs and instrumental works."
