11:54 am
i was from 20 to shine. philos nominate propaganda minister. gerbils sought power and control. even in the arts. this made the berlin philharmonic orchestra all the more important to him. in 1933, the privately run ensemble was in financial difficulty. gerbils nationalized the philharmonic and turned it into the right orchestra, saving the jobs of the musicians. but there were 4 jewish musicians among them, including concertmaster. she moaned goldberg as this, but in fear fair and yahoo, the com, you know that in these 4 cases the musicians were subjected to increasing pressure in order for their contracts were simply not extended. so does he, that they were all pushed out of the orchestra by 1935 at the latest orchestra or schofield vill home fort wrangler backed the musicians. but the pressure from the

regime was too great. shimon gold bag and the other jewish musicians of the berlin philharmonic left germany to escape the nazi dictatorship. damn pan, brown pan but on it and i dont on that. i'd be glad i get right into it. right. ah. in 1934 foot finger stood up for composer. pol hinder mit her symphony. mattie there marla, he planned to perform with the berlin philharmonic. what followed was a power struggle with gerbils who forbade the concert. the nazis found hinder mits, modern style of music, unacceptable. and foot wrangler, who had made his one stand against the regime on this thing on this one, on this item in a brilliant fil, a volley program never had another confrontation with the regime. they simply
11:56 am
stared him down and he was too afraid for his position. an ad for his personal interests ever again to stand up to gerbils, let alone take. ah. under pressure from the nurse's foot wrangler, came to a decision. he stepped down as leader of the berlin philharmonic conductor of the stage opera and vice president of the rice chamber of music. gobbles manipulates him in an almost faustine fashion. and the relationship between for to england girls is very much a false deon relationship. that's our her easy bream. when the fact is, he stayed there and participated in his own way. me through music was regarded ah,
