Returning From Work

The musicians in the camp were forced to play at the camp’s gate
when the prisoners went to work in the morning, and when they came back in the evening.

Imagine the irony those artist players who used to play before the war classical pieces
by German composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Strauss or Johannes Brahms,
ending up playing as prisoners at a German concentration camp for forced laborers.
