Defiant Requiem

Rafael Schächter, a brilliant Czech conductor, was arrested and sent to the concentration camp of Theresienstadt (Terezin) in 1941. This documentary explores a unique chapter in Holocaust history when prisoners used music and the arts to sustain their spirits and resist Nazi oppression. Soaring concert footage, survivor recollections, cinematic dramatizations, and animation bring this story to life.
