was a model concentration camp serving as a way station to Auschwitz and
as a Nazi propaganda tool to dispel rumors of the Final Solution. Red
Cross inspectors found children taking art classes. Composers wrote
music for the camp ensembles to perform. Poets and playwrights created
new works. Most were murdered in the Shoah.</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 9pt;">How can creativity flourish in such terrible
circumstances? How do the works of art produced under such duress
compare with those created under less stressful conditions?</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> Many artists suffer--illness, poverty,
loneliness--for the sake of their art. What can we learn about the
connection between creativity and suffering from the extreme case of
artists in the Holocaust?</span><br>
