The incredible story of the rescued treasure of Jewish musical life in National Socialist Berlin. This documentary resurrects music that was considered lost for over seventy years and brings it back to life.

Between 1933 and 1938, two Jewish-run record companies, Semer and Lukraphon, were still able to produce music by and with Jewish artists as part of the Jewish Cultural Association. This music was completely destroyed in a single night, along with the original matrices, lyrics, and sheet music. It was the night of November 9, 1938, when violent Nazi mobs viciously attacked Jews and Jewish communities. Since then, the music was considered lost forever. The fact that this musical treasure was found again over 70 years later is nothing short of a miracle.

Filmography: Birth of a Legend (2011), White Hunters – White Gold (1997).
