Aleksander Kulisiewicz

A talented singer, songwriter and performer who composed 54 songs during more than five years of imprisonment at Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin, Aleksander Kulisiewicz is also noteworthy for having created and preserved the largest collection in existence of music composed in the Nazi camps. Because this extraordinary collection touches on a variety of issues relevant not only to music scholarship but also contemporary European history, it is valuable to musicologists and Holocaust historians alike.
