1933 The Turning Point: Art, Oppression, Resistance

Chicago Opera Theater and Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center will present a program at the Harold Washington Library Auditorium.

This program combines live musical excerpts from Der Silbersee with historical context and dialogue, shedding light on how this masterpiece reflects the political and moral crises of its time. Audiences can reflect on how the lessons of 1933—when democracy collapsed, truth was suppressed, and art was silenced—remain urgently relevant today.
