Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezin

On April 23 at 7:30 pm, DJHS is joining with Temple Emanu-El in sponsoring the Dallas premiere of “Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezin” at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. Presented on Yom HaShoah and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Theresienstadt Concentration Camp (Terezin), this multimedia production tells the story of Jewish prisoners in Terezin during World War II, who affirmed their humanity amid degradation and defied the Nazis by performing Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem. The production on April 23 is a performance of the Verdi Requiem, interspersed with video testimony by survivors of the original Requiem chorus and narrated testimony by those who perished in the Holocaust.
