A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany
This is a love story that illuminates the plight of Jewish musicians in Nazi Germany. Set against the sinister backdrop of Nazi Germany, 'The Inextinguishable Symphony' tells the riveting story of two Jewish musicians who struggle to perform under unimaginable circumstances - and who fall in love. In 1936, Gunther Goldschmidt and Rosemarie Gumpert, along with countless other Jews, were prohibited from playing in all German orchestras except those organised by the Jewish Kulturbund. Created under the auspices of Joseph Goebbel's Ministry of Information and Propaganda to demonstrate to the rest of the world how well Jews were being treated under the Third Reich, the Kulturbund provided another unexpected result: it became a haven for Jewish artists and offered much-needed spiritual enrichment for a besieged people.
