I was inspired to composed a piece in memory of the people who have suffered from the Holocaust. This piece is called A Survivor from Warsaw. The things that happen from the Holocaust hit me hard because I come from a Jewish family. Why would anyone be so cruel to harm people because they are Jews? I do not think that is even justice. The killings of innocent Jews just to create a place for Aryans is not nice. Even worse, the Nazi regime did not even stop at Germany, it had suddenly become all Jews! I am also Jew, so it really hurts to know that people think Jews are inferior people. I also heard about the death camps especially the one at Auschwitz. In my opinion, I think that is the most horrible and worst thing anyone can do. Why does the Nazi regime kill every single Jew, including children! Us Jews are not free workers, we are not animals, and most of all, we are not inferior to anyone! Jews do not deserve this type of treatment. To torture us and use us for the Nazi's advantage is just horrible! Germans killing more than half of the Jews in Europe is just evil. So, those that have been affected by the Holocaust and the victims that have died from the Holocaust, I composed a song in memory for all who suffered, A Survivor from Warsaw.

ReplyDeleteOh I hear ya’ brother! Touched my soul! I’m like you sir. We’re one of a kind no doubt. Cut from the same cloth. I feel your hurt and your heavy heart just like it’s my own. You see, I come from the same place you from, from despair. Me and my own kind down South were treated downright terrible. I was never treated right, none at all. I never felt the sweet love of a mother, not the reassuring arm of a Pop. And I was black woman in times that didn’t understand for crying out loud. People didn’t understand me none! My dancing scared the pants of some boys and them thought I was wrong just cause I was a girlie. People talked hurt bout me, killed me real bad it did. When I was a young little squirt, I often dreamed my mystery Pop was a Jew. You see, I felt something in common with those hurting Jew folks. They suffered a lifetime of pain, the same pain I trudged through. The God Lord sees us all same, that’s what I always said. We’re artists, peoples with passion and feeling. We weave our story, pour our soul into something special, something else. We make our own song, a voice to sing our hurt and our pain. We both speak through the beat and find comfort from our arts. Mr. Arnold, we both find hope in letting our feelings out and breaking free.
ReplyDeleteDear Schonberg,
ReplyDeleteI think your music is great and speaks to people. I admire how you have composed a piece dedicated to the devastating situation of the Holocaust. Your now technique of the atonal music is rather fresh and interesting. I am very sorry for any losses due to the war, and hope you can carry on to let people know just how horrible the Nazis were. Good luck with your music and with life!
