That, and the ability to carry a tune, ought to qualify one to be the Offical Composer of the Nazi Party.
Still, the Carmina Burana ranks among the best live performances I’ve ever seen of any kind. The power of the chorous and drums just don’t come out in a recording.
White Rose ping, read the full article at source link.
Just shows the author is ignorant of Nazi history.
People with one Jewish grandparent were classified as 2nd degree mischlings, unless they practiced Judaism or identified as Jews.
Mischlings, especially 2nd degree, were generally left alone by the Nazis unless they managed to get on some bigwig's bad side, in which case they could be in trouble.
But that, of course, was just about equally true of 100% Aryan types.
The article is a little hysterical about the "betrayal." The composer didn't turn in a friend, he just refused to risk his own life to try to save the guy. Not admirable, but hardly traitorous.
Since the guy in question had founded the White Rose, nothing anybody else did was going to save him, anyway.
I read the article and I am not seeing much of a betrayal. Carl Orff couldn’t have saved his friend Huber who was a founding member of a resistance group. He was a dead man the minute he was arrested. He didn’t betray Huber to the Gestapo. He didn’t do anything. He may have been an unlikable man, and even a coward if you please, but that doesn’t amount to betrayal.
