should we display his artwork too? Maybe set up a showcase in Israel?

F@ck those Nazis. May their work and their memories be forgotten.

He played a pivotal role in the holocaust. He personally counseled Hitler, he propagated genocidal views of Jews and was the ultimate bigot.

Music is music. Life is life. Which matters more?

Artists are debased from reality. They think with their emotions. I am not fooled by Wagner's "art." His association with Hitler and mass-murderers erases any contributions he might have made to music.

He should be shamed, shamed shamed, and boycotted.

Performances of the 19th-century composer are kept off Israeli stages and airwaves out of respect to the country's 220,000 Holocaust survivors.Some six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators in Europe during the war.Elan Steinberg, deputy head of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants, condemned the performance as a 'disgraceful abandonment of solidarity with those who suffered unspeakable horrors by the purveyors of Wagner's banner'.However, the concert won't be the first Wagner performance by an Israeli orchestra.

It's always a no-win scenario. We should stay out of the affairs of other nations and practice a policy of non-interference. RIO We should offer humanitarian aid to countries if they request it, and refuse to trade with countries who have human rights violations, but military intervention only serves to anger those that we would try to help..

Still, not enough time has passed for a performance in Israel, he said. The orchestra did not even rehearse the music in the country. Even though Wagner died half a century before Hitler rose to power, the Nazi dictator was a fervent admirer and drew on the composer's writings in his own theories on Germanic racial purity. Aside from anti-Semitic overtones in some of his operas, Wagner also penned a number of polemics raging against the corruption of music and the "German spirit" by Jews. The unofficial ban on Wagner predates Israel's creation in 1948. The Israel Philharmonic under its former name, the Palestine Orchestra, imposed it in 1938 after Nazi attacks on Jews in Germany. Dan bree olson Erdmann, a clarinetist in the Israel Chamber Orchestra, said his fellow musicians understood the history that is linked to Wagner's music. However, the conflicts and emotions associated with the history of Wagner are exactly those which make it so special for us," he said.
