Die jüdische Musikerin Dora Loeb (1905-1944) Lesung mit Musik und historischen Fotos mit Hans STELLMACH und Susanne MAIERHÖFER

In the organizer's words:

Cologne - Jerusalem - Riga: the extraordinary life of the Jewish musician Dora Loeb (1905-1944)

More than a hundred letters and postcards from the years 1935 to 1941: they were written by the Jewish musician Dora Loeb to her family in the Netherlands. They tell a very unusual story: that of Dora Loeb, born in Bonn in 1905, who emigrated to Palestine in 1935 and became a founding member of the "Palestine Orchestra" (now the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra). Tragically, however, she returned to Germany in 1937, taught at the Jewish secondary school Jawne in Cologne, was deported in 1941 and murdered in 1944.

In addition to the biography, the letters also paint a picture of a self-confident and sensitive woman: unconventional, religious and always enthusiastic about music. The author Hans Stallmach received the documents from Dora Loeb's descendants in the Netherlands and used them to create the reading with music and historical photo documents.

Participants: Hans Stallmach (author); Susanne Maierhöfer (actress).
