i love. all of them whether they're 20 or 50 have shown intense interest in their grandparents stories much more so than the grandchildren of the perpetrators the scientists mia is off to. alexander nakama is a rabbi in eastern germany and the grandson of the legendary cantor. a stronger not a man whose voice filled berlin synagogues for decades. i know i actually felt stressed and did something that wasn't the norm back them he spoke about his time in the concentration camp but he didn't do it all the time but the moments when he did have always stuck with me holcombe even. a strong believes it was his singing voice that saved his life on the streets. after the war he sang in christian churches too as an act of reconciliation.

you can't replace the experience of meeting with survivors. i think one good way to teach about the holocaust is to have students learn not just the bigger history but the stories of individuals. in the last decades germany has committed to a culture of remembrance for what happened. last year an attack on a synagogue in the city of hull and raised fears of a new wave of anti semitism. we need to get people interested and i'm shocked to hear 40 year olds tell me come on what's the holocaust got to do with me well a lot we have to get that across it didn't happen at the other end of the earth it happened right here. talking holographs observers are the future of holocaust education but they can't replace the experience of meeting survivors in

out in public i guarantee you'll get some strange looks. from. memoirs of an anti semite it's a pretty rough title for a novel that's autobiographical now the author go fine with it so he was himself not an anti-semite but he describes the anti semitism that in 19000 was inescapable . memoirs of an anti semite chronicles a society that no longer exists today split between ukraine and romania the capital turn of it's was a diverse mixture of ethnicities a 3rd of the city spoke yiddish the holocaust wiped out that world completely this book revives a lost world and it's fascinating to see just how matter of fact front of it so he is in describing the anti semitism that in his circles was given our kind of people the educated kind did not require such heavy arguments to look upon jews as 2nd
10:51 pm
class people we just didn't like them or at least like them less than other fellow human beings this was as natural as liking cats less than dogs or bed bugs less than b. and we mused ourselves by offering the most absurd justifications go for that's all the lists of every prejudice against jews that was in circulation at that time but he doesn't give them any credence his best friend is jewish and he has several jewish lovers. here in germany from the so is hardly known but in the rest of the world he is seen as a wonderful storyteller a pathfinder and a kind of literary chief witness. the grammys all the oscars of the music world and this year saw a real generation change at the awards in los angeles on sunday night the biggest winner is just 18 years old and it was such a sea change throughout the awards it was the parents of the winners who were

10:54 pm
touch that they're all about giving prizes to the old white men and they have no connection to the sort of the youth diverse used today and the music they're listening to and the. there the music they're making but this year completely different i mean we not only had the youngest ever album of the year winner with 18 but her brother phinehas phineas who produces her music he's the youngest ever producer in producer of the year at $22.00 but it kind of seems as though it's actually jumping a generation i mean i stole that willy necklace somebody but that was all yeah definitely the whole it's incredibly young generation and through them all you see there they're making music in a very different different way and they're showing up styles i mean it's you know it's it's billy eilish it's a little now as ex and the way they combine music is really amazing i mean listen she is she's a she's a flutist she wraps she combines pop an r. and b. and also the way she looks me just look like your typical female pop sort of used

talk which is a social media site where you can you can take clips of songs and and sort of perform to them designed to song to be. it on the psyche uploaded that people started playing it doing dances to it doing little games of videos when they became hugely successful around the world hundreds and thousands of them only then did he get radio play only then did it become a hit hit in the u.s. and end up being number one on the u.s. charts for something like 19 and weeks and it seems to be appealing to all generations you know definitely as an you can see some of these moves i mean everyone from from from from from from your kids to to all people who are are doing that i think that's a great appeal of of this style of music i think really go across the generations and i mean i think it was exemplified by a little last xmas performance at the grammys last time we did old town road so it's on the stage with billy ray cyrus who did the most popular version of a song which was the huge hit in the united states so they're performing ok that's quite nice nice duet but then he moved the pile slides back you got everybody there
