You will learn about Ullman and some of the other accomplished artists - who lived under the constant threat of deportation to Auschwitz but continued to create music and artwork. Their story will be toldĀ  by Mark Ludwig (Executive Director of the Terezin Music Foundation), who is an accomplished musician himself and recently published a beautifully documented book, Our Will To Live. Mark will also detail his discovery of this fascinating history and the goals of the Terezin Music Foundation. Included are excerpts of music composed at Terezin.
