Germans stage anti-antisemitism concert
NewsKonzerthaus Dortmund is putting on a December 2 concert as a stand against rising antisemitism. Former Bundestag President Norbert Lammert will be among the speakers.
The concert will feature Pinchas Zukerman in the concerto by Paul Ben-Haim, who fled Germany under the Nazis. Lahav Shani will conduct the Bamberg Symphony.
Konzerthaus director Raphael von Hoensbroech says: ‘The brutal attack by Hamas against civilians in Israel on 7 October and the resulting escalation of the Middle East conflict have deeply shaken us. We cannot be indifferent nor should it be relativised that anti-Semitism has flared up all over the world as a result and that violence against Jews has increased.’
