Radio Prague interviews PtJA researchers

David Vaughan interviewed PtJA members Stephen Muir, David Fligg and Lisa Peschel when they visited Prague in February 2016.

Thousands of Jewish writers and musicians found their careers cut short by the Holocaust. Tragically, this was the culmination of a long history of persecution and pogroms in many parts of Europe. Lives were destroyed and in many cases people’s work was lost, forgotten or torn from its cultural and linguistic context. Now a major new project is underway to bring to together some of the shattered fragments of this rich legacy of music and theatre. It will culminate in an international festival, Out of the Shadows, which will take place in several countries. David Vaughan talks to three people behind an ambitious project that spans no less than four continents but has a particular focus on the Czech Republic.
