Uncovering a Haunting Legacy... Ilse Weber's 'Wiegala'
Ilse Weber, a Jewish poet and composer, penned the poignant lullaby 'Wiegala' while imprisoned in the Theresienstadt concentration camp.
As a nurse, she cared for children, but when they were sent to Auschwitz, she selflessly chose to accompany them.
Legend has it that 'Wiegala' was the last song she sang with the children before their tragic fate in 1944.
Inspired by Ilse's story, Esther Abrami arranged 'Wiegala' for solo violin and string quintet.
This stirring performance was recorded in the empty concert hall of the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Vienna.
