My brother-in-law, who was a music composer, came across a piece of unfinished music from a victim/survivor of Auschwitz. He completed the music which was performed in several countries in memory of the holocaust victims. The piano solo, which is very moving, was played by a man who became my friend and represents a tradition wherein music stands opposed to totalitarian beliefs. I won't say more but simply add that his grandfather was Vorster, an architect of apartheid. The times change, new generations can overcome the hatred and stupidity of the past, and I wish that the North London Guardian reading middle classes will refrain from milking their version of white guilt.Dr Llareggubnoreply@blogger.com
