Holocaust survivor found redemption through music

In this photo taken March 4, 2014, Berlin, Germany, Edgar Krasa, right, a 93-year-old survivor of Nazi concentration camps meets with W. Michael Blumenthal, former U.S. Treasury Secretary who now heads the Jewish Museum in the German capital. The two were attending a performance of a mass to commemorate the victims of Nazi terror at the Terezin concentration camp. Edgar Krasa took part in one of the ennobling acts of the Holocaust. He didn’t take up arms in a ghetto insurrection, or fight in the Jewish underground. Instead, he and several hundred fellow concentration camp inmates defied the Nazis through music.
