This book traces the origins of this legend to a little known concentration camp in Ukraine where musicians were forced to perform a Jewish tango at executions before they themselves were murdered. By reconstructing the creation of this legend, the book shows how the actual history is hidden, distorted, or even lost altogether.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Illustrations    1 Memory and Myth   1\tSerendipity   2\tLegend and Myth   3\tHolocaust Legends   4\tMethodology   5\tEthics    2 Music in the Camps   1\tNazi Concentration Camps   2\tMusic in the Camps   3\tSinging   4 Camp Orchestras   5 Purpose of Camp Music   6 Repertoire   7 Memories of Wagner   8 Wagner Myths    3 The Tango of Death   1\tSinging Tangos   2\tThree Versions   3\tWhich One Is It?    4 The Orchestra of Death   1\tNuremberg   2\tProvenance   3\tThe Photographer   4\tThe Photograph   5\tLocation   6\tThe Court   7\tReturning to the Iconic Image    5 The Death of the Orchestra   1\tReasons for Doubt   2\tFictionalizing Testimony    6 The Fugue of Death   1\tThe Poet   2\tThe Poem   3\tThe Title   4\tInspiration   5\tThe Legend    7 Preserving History   1\tImagining Horror   2\tCapturing the Imagination   3\tMemorializing and Obfuscating   4\tVisualizing the Tango of Death   5\tPreserving History    Literature","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210853933399,"sku":"9789004525061","price":92.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/tango-of-death-the-creation-of-a-holocaust-legend-9789004525061","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
