Coco, the jazzman of Auschwitz, has died at 95
mainHeinz Jakob ‘Coco’ Schumann, a jazz guitarist who played underground in Berlin until the Nazis sent him to Terezin and Auschwitz, died in Berlin this weekend.
After the War he migrated to Australia but the lure of Berlin was irresistible and he returned in the early 1950s.

Today, 29. January, at 19:30 Berlin time, the RBB Kulturradio has changed its programming to honour Coco Schumann with a 30-minute obituary

Both of these links will remain active beyond today, I believe.
