In the shadow of the Third Reich, the German musical establishment faced a harrowing transformation as the Nazi regime sought to purge the arts of perceived foreign and Jewish influence. This documentary explores the chilling intersection of high culture and state-sponsored hatred, revealing how the regime weaponized music to reinforce its ideology while forcing Jewish musicians into exile or death. Through the personal stories of those who lived through this era, the film examines the moral compromises made by artists who remained in Germany and the devastating consequences for those who were targeted by the regime's cultural policies.
