Music

The use of music during a Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration can be an evocative tool to promote learning about the Holocaust and understanding of the contents of your event.

There are several ways of incorporating music into an event. These include live performances by a Klezmer band, a Gypsy band or a gay choir for example or performances by local music groups or choirs who have studied the Holocaust. A musical interlude during an event can provide a time for reflection, which may be particularly welcome if there has been a particularly moving or harrowing element to the commemoration.

There is also a great deal of music produced during the Holocaust or as a response to the events of the Holocaust.
