city of essen which features pictures of 75 survivors of the holocaust exhibition was opened on tuesday by the german chancellor and the number 75 is significant because next monday will be the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the death camp in $945.00 the exhibition is one of many events marking this anniversary. these people were persecuted by nazi germany and to survive. the portraits on display in the german city of essen. the title of the exhibition is survivors faces of life after the holocaust. the 75 photographs by martin german who lives in new york. what i think really brings these people together is.

certain kind of optimism and strength i don't know if you can see that but there's also kind of a pride and a lot of them to talk very defiantly about i overcame the holocaust and then i did this and then i did this and this and now i have 20 grandchildren 5 kids and 20 grandchildren so they're very proud people close ups of celebrities such as barack obama hillary clinton and uncle a magical cemented show that's renowned. he chose the same big head style as he calls it for his series on survivors. the faces speak for themselves. charlotte took these photos in jerusalem the atmosphere at the shoot was relaxed. he completed the 75 portraits in just 10 days that's not much time but time enough

for moving encounters and incredible stories the russians liberated the camp and i'm like mark. i it may by any chance in this picture i had a photograph of me from a newspaper article and saw the pictures famous picture of the children standing behind this wired friends and she's like oh yeah that's me and that's my sister motto wise herself a historian is concerned that the stories of survival not be forgotten especially in the face of resurgent anti semitism vivian oriya works for you advice sham israel's holocaust remembrance center which co-sponsored the portrait project. when we try to get to fly there and the symmetry is in when the denial of all of course that we are doing in the main to unfold doing it is education and this exhibition is part of our hope it's a new creation to educate to teach what happened what took place for the sake of

their next generations. motm shiela says photographing survivors was a very moving experience and hopes people will contemplate the portraits with an open mind and an open heart. as time passes and as further away we get from it. the more you know the new the information. and the more they people talk maybe about it so i see it as my personal responsibility to keep the facts straight. these are among the last survivors of nazi persecution strella said that optimism and strength commands respect. the american pinnace see the. laid her 1st piano concerto at the tender age of 8 so it seems she was destined from a young age become a professional concert pianist

a repertoire is very eclectic and she travels the world performing with all the major orchestras right now she's here in berlin to give a concert i'm going join me in a minute. claire is a virtuoso critics rave about artistic sensitivity and versatility and of course her technical skill. she herself says that making music has always come naturally and that seeming effortlessness really comes across. seas parents were scientists she was given a piano at the age of 6 and her international career began when she was just 9 years old at 17 she moved from her hometown of philadelphia to hanover where she

studied at a university of music drama and media. traveling see a former child prodigy who's grown into a mature artist to play solos so i thought and with international focus to us captivating audiences around the world. joins me now thank you very much and welcome i mentioned you plagal 1st the age of 8 me did you did you know then that's what you want to do did your parents perhaps not that this is what she's kind note about actually my parents they they bought an instrument for me and my younger sister because learning music is of course beneficial for kids and we had that change to learn different instruments in school . but at the piano and actually for me playing the piano was more of a chore in my early years because i was i had to practice my parents accompanied me

to my lessons and from there on it was what i would call a very long love affair kind of love hate relationship event and i really didn't know until i was about 15 or 16 that this is something i really want to pursue what did your classmates when you were playing a piano i mean what did they think of it all oh i was screwing up in a small suburb outside of philadelphia and there was no one who did more than a couple minutes of learning instrument per day so i was known as the freaky piano girl for many years. and i think it of course took away some of my social life i wasn't able to go out and have fun and play with my friends whenever i wanted but in the long run i was still yeah let's talk about. i love short far as well what's easy about his piano music that means so much to you. for me i

think chopin is really the pianist composer because he composed almost primarily for this trend piano and he wrote such a such a diverse range so you can really hear his growth from the early years when he was still in poland and a real piano virtuoso to his more more dark times when he was in paris and his times in majorca to the end of his life and you're able to really feel on a very personal human level almost as if he is speaking to you and you're able to really empathize completely and that's what it is when i perform. i'm not of germany you spend a lot of time here in germany is this such your 2nd hug i would call it now my primary home and my my home in america would be my childhood home because i've been living here now almost half my life a while i was ok now before we go on. stay with us let's just hear a little more music this time some right by me.

on and off my guess is. you have a strange question i can play a little bit of not like you or i definitely can't play right man and also one of the problems i had when i learned to shop on piece was the stretch now hands a much bigger than your olds how do you manage i think when you are stretching your fingers out a lot and from a young age because when you're very young. i think your hands your tunes are just

more pliable in general and when you started the young age and you're always stretching out your stand becomes quite large and even though my hands are physically small compared to most people's hands playing most music is usually not a problem because my span is almost normal a was what the others can reach ok it's a lonely life on the road as a solo performer i guess now how do you deal with that that's a great question. i think this is not really a life for everybody but i've been very fortunate that for me it was a kind of steady and steady development in concert numbers so i really went from just studying to maybe 15 to 20 constance a year and then steadily now it's sometimes 80 to 90 is quite a lot and therefore i really was able to form a very solid base. based let's say our friends and family that i can keep in touch with on a daily basis and i'm very happy actually almost to spend time by myself i've kind

of found my own inner peace and dealing with this life that's kind of the most important thing. and also you mentioned doing so many concerts briefly. how do you practice because i know instruments much can for this but but there's no pianos in hotel rooms. that's true but usually we do get practice facilities whenever we want in various cities we can go to the hall before the concert of the day before the concert i myself find myself listening a lot to music in general and looking at the score kind of mental practice is for me the most effective ok thank you very much for joining us good luck with the concert tomorrow good luck with your career generally thank you so much finally the biggest art heist in the history of communist east germany has a happy ending the seeds have been cold but the 5 paintings including works by boy eagle and dyke are being returned to the museum it seems

a family inherited the stone of the paintings and off to much negotiation of return of them without any money changing hands. the schloss finch tynecastle museum in the city of go to east germany these photos show a police reconstruction of a crime in 1995 paintings by old masters worth millions was stolen from the collection they remained missing for 40 years then last summer a lawyer paid a visit to the man he represented a group of as he were interested in returning the artworks bust on them and wondered religion in public what was really extraordinary and unusual about the case was that ultimately we were able to bring about an involuntary return of the artwork on usenet and we reached this deal without having to pay for that return thinking last of was it but the paintings are now back where they belong how they came into the families possession in the 1st place is now subject to a police investigation. this is the i mean this is the sensational the vyvanse

things are complete the collection specifically the dutch masters they are key to the collection of. the works now need to be restored but for the next week they're on display in gaza. i wonder if they will ever find out exactly who was behind it and where these paintings were for the last 40 years more on the website of course our. culture more of our guests as well but that's all from me for the thanks for watching. us and it is of grave the need to keep. people from all over the rights and on the 4th and for the most recent article number is the bottom of the valley that the last dragons this world has called our 3 years. on.
