Feeling Kind Of Blue? Holocaust Survivor Lifts Lockdown Spirits Through Jazz


Saturday, 1 May 2021, 6:16 am
An 89-year-old pianist who escaped the Holocaust
in Nazi Germany almost eight decades ago, has been
explaining how he started playing jazz in memory of his
sister, and has kept going through the COVID-19 lockdown,
playing from the window of his Brussels home “to give
people courage.”
Simon Gronowski spoke to
the United Nations ahead of International
Jazz Day, which is celebrated annually on 30 April as a
force for “peace, unity, dialogue and enhanced cooperation
among people”.
