The author outlines how memory is treated by contemporary artists, philosophers,
musicians, sociologists, musicologists, as well as victims of the Holocaust…
She paints a rich landscape of how her subject features in the work of
composers and their collaborators, many of whom were motivated by memories
of the Occupation.
With such a subject, the discussion inevitably comes round to the uneasy relationship
between aesthetics and ethics. The author quotes Adorno: “Is poetry
possible after Auschwitz?”. The work is an answer to that question, and an affirmative
one. It must be possible: to restore hope, and to invoke and sustain
Memory, at least symbolically – by artistic means. Art, even when it disturbs,
brings catharsis and preserves memory.
The author impresses with her erudition, wealth of materials cited, musical
competence and critical insights.
