Violinist and trumpeter Louis Bannet was a celebrated jazz musician in Holland, often called “the Dutch Louis Armstrong.” Once the war began, he was arrested and sent to Auschwitz where he faced a chilling ultimatum: pass an audition for the camp orchestra or be sent to his death. Join Ken Shuldman, author of Jazz Survivor: The Story of Louis Bannet, for a conversation about Bannet’s life before, during and after the Holocaust and how jazz music saved his life. In conversation with jazz musician Joe Alterman, executive director of Neranenah.
This program is part of The Pulse: Moments That Matter, a series of frank conversations on culturally relevant topics with musicians, comedians and other entertainment industry professionals to illuminate how being Jewish has shaped their experiences, both personally and professionally. Sponsored by MomentLive! and Neranenah.
