A full-circle moment is happening at Carnegie Hall this week for a holocaust survivor from Greece.
After being freed from Auschwitz, Michel Assael wrote a symphonic poem in memory of those killed at the concentration camp.
"It's powerful. The first few minutes feels very unresolved and that must be the fear in the beginning of what he was trying to express," Assael-Migliore said."His whole experience of what he told me when I was growing up, all the stories I'm hearing in his musical language.""They weren't playing music for themselves. Nazis made them to play for people who was going to the gas chambers," pianist Renan Koen said.
Ullman and Assael did not know each other, but organizers say it is very plausible that Assael was playing music as Ullman was walked to the gas chambers.'We Can't Forget It': New Yorkers Commemorate Millions Of Jewish People Killed During Holocaust On Holocaust Remembrance Day
