A Family History in Nazi Germany in 'Winter Journey'

Martin Goldsmith, former host of the public radio classical music program, Performance Today, joins us to talk about the powerful story of how his parents met and their experiences performing with an all-Jewish orchestra in Nazi Germany. In 2001, he published a book about their experiences titled, The Inextinguishable Symphony: A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany. The book has since been made into a film by Danish filmmaker Anders Ostergaard titled, “Winter Journey,” which stars Goldsmith and has been selected as the centerpiece of this year's New York Jewish Film Festival, which runs virtually through January 26.
