"Conductor Wolf Durmashkin poses with the Hebrew Ghetto Choir of Vilna, Lithuania.
Durmashkin was a child prodigy and a leading musician in Warsaw.
After the outbreak of war he went to Vilna, where he taught music at several Jewish schools.
Once the ghetto was established, Durmashkin organized an orchestra, directed a Hebrew choir, and created a music school."
