Dear friends,
I cannot believe that I wrote my quarterly newsletter in September – and we’re already in December. I’m still undecided, whether time flies faster or slower in the COVID Era. Please share any insights you may have on the matter…
So what was played since September?
I had the great privilege of being a soloist in a sensitive historical program named ‘Rachela’s Mandolin”.
This program is focusing on the touching story of Rachela Zelmanowicz-Olewski, a Jewish mandolin player from Poland who, as a girl, played in the Auschwitz women's orchestra under the famous violinist and conductor Alma Rose.
Rachela's story is of a heroic survival in Auschwitz through the power of her mandolin music. She was liberated in Bergen-Belsen and later raised a family in Israel, until she passed away in 1987.
This concert, denoting Rachela’s one-hundredth birthday, was performed on 7.10.21. Her children, Yochi and Arie Olewski, were involved in the initiative, and the Raanana Symphonette joined the performance.
