SUMMARY:Degenerate Music with Adrienne Haan
DESCRIPTION:Under the patronage of the German Consulate General in San 
 Francisco.\n\n"Degenerate Music" was a label used by the Nazi government in 
 1930s Germany for music they deemed harmful to society. Similar to their 
 campaign against "Degenerate Art\," they aimed to isolate\, discredit and 
 ban such music.\n\nThe question always asked is “why?" Why could 
 something like the degeneration of art\, music and culture happen? Why the 
 banning and burning of books? Why the persecution of the Jews in a 
 civilized country such as Germany\, known for science\, philosophy\, arts 
 and music? Why the Germans? Why the Jews?\n\nIn this historic lecture 
 honoring the 80th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust\, Adrienne Haan 
 will explain “why" by covering German history from World War I to the 
 Weimar Republic\, which would finally lead to the Third Reich\, covering 
 the Nazi Regime's impact on classical\, cabaret\, and jazz music. During 
 the lecture\, pictures will be presented as well as samples of "degenerate" 
 versus "approved" music. Q&A to follow.\n\nRegistration recommended to join 
 us in person (Select "In Person")\, and registration required to receive 
 the Vimeo link to watch online (Select "Online" during registration). This 
 program will be recorded and available to watch later on the Library's 
 Event Archive.\n\nChanteuse Internationale Adrienne Haan is an
