On Thursday, 26 January 2023, on the occasion of the commemoration of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Jewish Museum in Prague, in cooperation with the Jewish Community of Prague and with the financial support from the Foundation for Holocaust Victims, organized a gala concert in the Spanish Synagogue.

The concert featured works of Viktor Ullmann, Ervin Schulhoff, Hans Winterberg and Pavel Haas, all extremely talented composers who were kept prisoners in concentration camps during the WWII. The music was performed by soprano Irena Troupová, accompanied by Jan Dušek on piano.

It has been a great honor for us that the concert was personally attended by Mrs. Dita Kraus, a 93-year-old Auschwitz survivor.
