It may be a little known fact that during the late 30's and early 40's American jazz was used by some of the German youth to protest and rebel against the Nazi regime. I was reminded of this as I read this posting. Also, I want to say that today, April 21st, is Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is essential that "we never forget". Music is a language from the heart.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/jazz_with_iraqis/ Tue Apr 21, 2009
