HMH | Mischlinge Exposé

The Mischlinge Exposé weaves a multimedia tapestry around a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the Mischlinge (a derogatory Nazi term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully Aryan). The program interweaves video and audio testimony from American pianist Carolyn Enger’s godmother and her father (both labeled Mischling, Grade A by the Nazis) with the music of composers from the salon period who converted to Christianity in the decades before the war. Reacting to questions of identity after the war, the program vividly illustrates what it was like to be between worlds in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. Through the telling of her family story, Enger’s live documentary directly addresses universally significant issues of identity and inclusion, encouraging empathy, tolerance, and engagement.
