"Joy H. Calico examines the cultural history of postwar Europe through the lens of
the performance and reception of Arnold Schoenberg's A Survivor from Warsaw--a short
but powerful work, she argues, capable of irritating every exposed nerve in postwar
Europe. A twelve-tone piece in three languages about the Holocaust, it was written
for an American audience by a Jewish composer whose oeuvre had been one of the Nazis'
prime exemplars of entartete (degenerate) music. Both admired and reviled as a pioneer
of dodecaphony, Schoenberg had immigrated to the United States and become an American
citizen. This book investigates the meanings attached to the work as it circulated
through Europe during the early Cold War in a kind of symbolic musical remigration,
focusing on six case studies: West Germany, Austria, Norway, East Germany, Poland,
and Czechoslovakia. Each case is unique, informed by individual geopolitical concerns,
but this analysis also reveals common themes in anxieties about musical modernism,
Holocaust memory and culpability, the coexistence of Jews and former Nazis, anti-Semitism,
dislocation, and the presence of occupying forces on both sides of the Cold War divide"
