The Inextinguishable Symphony

A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany

By: Martin Goldsmith

Narrated by: Martin Goldsmith

In the spring of 1933, more than 8,000 Jewish musicians, actors, and other artists were expelled from their positions with German orchestras, opera companies, and theater groups. Later that year, the Jüdische Kulturbund, or Jewish Culture Association, was created to allow Jewish artists to perform for Jewish audiences.

Here is the riveting and emotional story of Gunther Goldschmidt and Rosemarie Gumpert, two courageous Jewish musicians who struggled to perform under unimaginable circumstances and found themselves falling in love in a country bent on destroying them. A poignant testament to the enduring vitality of music and love even in the harshest times, The Inextinguishable Symphony gives us a compelling look at an important piece of Holocaust history that has gone largely untold.

Critic reviews

"A gripping tale of persecution, intrigue, and love and an insider's - or two insiders' - view of a dark time." ( Booklist)
"A deeply affecting story....Goldsmith's account offers an excellent contribution to Holocaust studies." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A fascinating insight into a virtually unknown chapter of Nazi rule in Germany, made all the more engaging through a son's discovery of his own remarkable parents." (ABC News)

Fantastic

This is my first experience in Audiobooks, and I have chosen the best in the inextinguishable symphony by Martin Goldsmith, as the author and the reader of the book I totally enjoyed from start to finish, not knowing much about the holocaust in his words, he explained into the find job

5 Star

This was wonderful. Usually Holocaust stories leave me depressed but this was a story that I had never heard before and the music was very uplifting. I plan to listen to it again. Another plus was that the author was the reader and his voice was pleasant ….gave the experience a whole other level. Also well researched. And I must disagree with those who thought parts were too long…I was totally immersed in the experience ✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️

This work is one of the most valuable books that I

have listened to or read. it's a remarkable story of love, life, and redemption.

The Inextinguishable Symphony

This book was very interesting story, some parts were too busy others were boring all in all it was a story well told very moving.

Vivid story of a tragic past

Captivating story with great details about so many people, places and events that makes you feel like you were a firsthand witness at the time. Found myself having difficulty putting the book down. I needed to listen carefully as there are many names that were difficult to remember due to being neither a German or Hebrew language speaker. Highly recommend.
