The Other Schindler: Do You Know the Amazing Story of the Musician Who Rescued 1,000 Jews from Holocaust?

New Movie Orchestra of Exiles Reveals Story of Discovers Bronislaw Huberman Who Rescued 1,000 Jews from Holocaust

Thanks to Steven Spielberg, we’ve all heard of Oskar Schindler. Now, the inspiring story of another man who faced huge odds and grave personal risk to save hundreds of Jews from the Nazis is coming to light.

In the early 1930s, Adolf Hitler began forcing Jewish musicians out of orchestras across Germany, a policy that would spread to other countries the German Third Reich occupied. Previously engrossed in his own wildly successful career, Polish Jewish violinist Bronislaw Huberman embarked on a four-year journey to rescue those Jews from the Nazis’ grip and with their help form the orchestra that would become the Israel Philharmonic. This is the same orchestra that today is met in American and European cities by pro-Palestinian protesters who try to shout down their beautiful music. A new film, Orchestra of Exiles, documents this one man’s struggle in the face of Nazi aggression that resulted in the saving of 1,000 Jews from the Holocaust.

TheBlaze had the opportunity to watch the documentary and speak with its director, Josh Aronson, who is not only an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, but is also an amateur chamber concert pianist. He calls Huberman a “heroic figure” whose story drew him and his film crew to five countries to try to discover how he accomplished an almost impossible feat.

Aronson says, “This was a man who stood up against intolerance at a time when world level musicians were pushing on with their own careers and looking the other way. He was one of the few artists at that level who actually walked away from a very lucrative career in protest of racial policies in Germany.”

Huberman’s Promising Career and the Rise of Nazism

Bronislaw Huberman’s father discovered that his son was a prodigy at an early age. When he was a young child, his impoverished family in Poland somehow cobbled together their meager funds – including selling their furniture – to send him to study with a violin master in Berlin.

Soon, Huberman’s career would take off, leading him to perform for royalty and once even for famed composer Johannes Brahms who was impressed by the boy’s abilities.

When the Nazis took over Germany, they began dismissing virtuoso Jewish musicians from their jobs, as they did to Jews in other professions. First the Jews were fired and kicked out of school, then they were rounded into ghettos, and eventually they were transported to concentrations camps where Hitler’s extermination plan was implemented.

“He had a sense of what was coming very early as some people did. He had seen pogroms in Poland so he knew how dangerous this pendulum swing of anti-Semitism was; he knew how violent it could get because he felt it,” Aronson tells TheBlaze.

Because of his well-heeled connections, the Jewish Huberman was almost guaranteed to escape the Nazis. But his own well-being wasn’t enough for him. According to the film, Huberman once said:

I had to descend into the furthest depths of my soul to find the hidden link between my impulse towards art and my impulse towards politics. Then I made a huge discovery. The true artist does not create art as an end in itself. He creates art for human beings. Humanity is the goal.

Huberman visited Palestine under the British mandate in 1929. While there, he was inspired with the idea of establishing a symphony orchestra made up of Jews who had moved there. Once he saw his fellow musicians being persecuted in Europe, he realized he could merge his political goal of saving Jews with his desire to bring classical music to the Holy Land.

And so his odyssey of raising the substantial funds and finding the right talent began. With the help of the survivors’ children, Orchestra of Exiles describes how Huberman traveled for two years from city to city where the Nazi scourge would spread – including Budapest, Prague, Berlin, Warsaw – to audition the best 70 Jewish musicians on string, woodwind and brass.

Building the Orchestra and Fighting the Nazis

The film describes how Huberman had to “empty his emotions” during auditions and choose his players for the Palestine Symphony Orchestra objectively based on skill. Rejecting musicians meant they would face almost certain death, which tragically rendered him a judge.

His defiance of the Nazis didn’t stop there. He stunned his audiences by canceling his concerts to protest the anti-Jewish laws in Germany. He moved to Vienna and gave a concert there in honor of victims of anti-Semitism. Huberman was furious when his longtime piano accompanist was forbidden to play with him, a Jewish violinist, a development that only further steeled his nerves for the daunting task he’d taken on.

Getting Jews out of Eastern Europe was an almost impossible goal. Virtually every country in Europe, Latin America and North America – including the U.S. – rejected most applications for visas. In Palestine, the British authorities had instituted strict quotas limiting the entrance of Jews.

Aronson says, “He wrote that this is becoming a mission of rescue in addition to becoming a mission to start an orchestra.”

Huberman was fundraiser-in-chief, delivered speeches, wrote articles, and gradually transformed himself from musician to statesman. His larger-than-life story was enhanced by his surviving a plane crash which caused severe damage to his hands. Though doctors said he’d never play violin again, Huberman eventually regained the strength and skill to play.

Not only did Huberman succeed in getting his 70 musicians out of Europe, he also secured travel permits via his powerful government connections for their families and more distant relatives who pleaded for his help.

Huberman recruited famed conductor Arturo Toscanini, a virulent opponent of the Fascism that had taken over his native Italy. While he refused to conduct at the German Bayreuth Festival in 1933 and personally sent a cable to Hitler protesting his persecution policies, Toscanini agreed to conduct the first concerts of the newly formed Palestine Symphony Orchestra.

We won’t give away the end of the film, that is, who is saved, who decides to return to Nazi-occupied Europe, which famous American violinist now plays Huberman’s Stradivarius, and what happened once Israel was officially declared an independent Jewish state (a tear-inducing moment). Suffice to say, in 1948 the orchestra’s name was changed to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO).

Threats the Orchestra Faces Today

Huberman’s story casts new light on aggressive pro-Palestinian demonstrations staged regularly at IPO concerts by groups including the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, most famously in September 2011 when they shouted repeatedly during a London concert, forcing the BBC to interrupt its broadcast.

Today, several of the musicians of the IPO are the children and grandchildren of the original Holocaust refugees who established the fledgling orchestra under Huberman, a fact the protesters don’t mention in their statement that the IPO is supposedly complicit “in whitewashing Israel’s persistent violations of international law and human rights.”

When the IPO performed in October at Carnegie Hall in New York, film director Aronson accosted those protesting outside the concert venue: “I went up to talk to the picketers to ask what their logic was. In my view, to say that this has anything to do with the politics of Israel is so misguided, it’s just absurd.”

It’s not only Nazi aggression and radical protesters this resilient orchestra has faced. In 1991, as Iraqi SCUDs were falling on Israel, IPO musicians did not stop playing in Tel Aviv when air raid sirens wailed and audience members put on their gas masks.

During the Gulf War, Maestro Zubin Mehta conducted a special concert from a sealed room [aimed at keeping out nerve gas then feared to be in Saddam Hussein’s arsenal]. He told the television audience that his musicians were going to play their hearts out for the public of Israel who he said was facing Saddam’s SCUDs in an exemplary manner. In 2006, the orchestra was in the middle of a performance in Haifa when Hezbollah rockets slammed into the city. Nobody left the concert hall.

Even while anti-Israel demonstrators defame the orchestra, IPO Muscial Director Zubin Mehta has publicly committed himself to recruiting a Palestinian musician to the IPO and to teaching music to Israeli Arab children.

Aronson says though he’s previously made other documentary films, this experience was different.

“What struck me was, here was a Jew who saved 1,000 Jews who was completely forgotten…I thought this was a story that needed to be told, a piece of history that needed to be resurrected,” he says.

“What I get from the screenings, people come to me as no other film I’ve ever made thanking me for making this film for bringing his story to light.”

Thanks to Aronson and the survivors, Huberman’s legacy is now being recognized. The film which includes interviews with renowned musicians including violinists Joshua Bell and Itzhak Perlman is currently being shown at film festivals and on college campuses around the country. PBS decided to broadcast it nationwide on April 14.

From the forests of Katyn, to the Righteous Among the Nations, you will find my family’s name! And I can assure you, my family’s name is unique and rare.

I’ve spent over ten years absorbing all the material I possibly could learning about this issue in its entirety. I understand the arguments, counter arguments, etc…. These silly little posts could do us no justice because this is a complex topic that takes years of study and understanding and I know only scholars and experts could understand the motives and reasons behind the way this material is used and presented.

It’s amazing to see how the remnants of the nazi mindcontrol program still has the ability to create true believers amongst people. It just goes to show you how potent it was within the confines of the Reich and/or where ever they influenced.

When I think of state sponsored propaganda and its ability to manipulate unsuspecting victims, nowadays, I think of Iran and anyone else that would recast this spell of the last century.

What I’m trying to say is when it comes to the choice of life or death, choose life, and save those people who you can, regardless of the governments mindcontrol program! It’s not an easy choice when your life and your family is at stake! Lets pray we never have to make that choice again!

Let me end by saying the threat of nuclear annihilation was the game changer last century and we didn’t want to enrage the Soviets!

But then again, what do I know-lol

  You are either an idiot or a fool who has lost their medications.
  
  So who were perpetrators of the Katyn massacre from someone who spent 10 years studying the arguments and the counter arguments? lol My god what a foul creature you must be.
  
  Were the German nationalists wrong in their desire to have a Nation of only Germans? Or were they only wrong because some of the foreigners died in the relocation effort?
  
  What about the 40-50 million murdered in the former Soviet Union? Did those individuals deserve any sort of protection or were their murders justified in that they were just poor Christian farmers who may have held a little distrust of Jews?
  
  Nevermind just go to hell.

Now, I’m gonna upset some, but it has to be said. I truly feel for the Jews and ALL victims of the Nazi Regime, expecially the civilians in England during the raids. But I don’t appreciate that the ONLY requirement for being employed in Hollywood is to be a full blooded Jewish person. And if you’re a handicapped Jewish little dweeb strapped to a wheel chair…..tickets wrote. And these are the SAME Jewish people who are BLAMING America for what happened to them! WHAAAAT??

  Your saying if I, a “full blooded Jew”, were to apply to Hollywood right now I’d be guaranteed a job? Even though I have no experience in film, entertainment, or any other relevant skills? How completely ridiculous. If hiring standards are that bad Hollywood would be bankrupt.
  
  Are you saying you think America was helping save the Jews? America sent a ship of refugees back to Europe where the lucky ones ended up in England.

  You are correct. It was not only America who refused the Jews, it was the world. Now, “Why did the world not want to take the Jews?” The rest of the world is not the problem. Jews bring with them their kibbutz culture, their commune-ism, their revolutionary predilections, as so eloquently outlined by the Jewish Marx.

  Who in hell are you talking about? Sure, there are a lot of Jewish people in Hollywood, but don’t equate Jewishness with being an anti-American leftist idiot. The fact that Leon Trotsky (a failed New York waiter turned community organizer) started campaigning for the implementation of communism in the synagogues of eastern Europe has a lot to do with the left-leaning tendencies of many American Jews whose forbears came from that region, but for every one of those people there are two who know and understand the evil underpinnings of communism and also support what used to be the American identity and culture. And consider this – the most vocal anti-American rantings have come from obvious goyim such as George Clooney (Kentucky-bred gentile), Alec Baldwin (definite goy) and Harry Belafonte (not a member of the lost tribes, my friend.)

  Would you agree that liberals and progressives, people who believe in big government, are more likely to be politically involved? Would you then also agree that you are more likely to find progressives in government? How then does showing a list of Jewish politicians prove anything (particularly when the list is incomplete)? Politicians in general are progressives if not outright socialists. Why would Jewish politicians be exempt?
  
  The only thing that list might demonstrate is that capitalist Jews are currently less likely to run for public office than capitalist non-Jews. You can’t extrapolate from a select minority and apply your findings to the whole.

  And in regards to Marx, he was a Christian who embraced atheism. People like that don’t hold a lot of influence within Jewish culture. Try looking at Jewish leaders, not idealists who happen to be Jewish. Moses Mendelssohn, who predates Marx, was a free market capitalist. And unlike Marx, he remained Jewish in every sense.

Stop using that crisis here, as your shield. We didn’t do it. We helped stop it. It was 70 years ago and Jews/Zionists were not completely innocent, as we were led to believe. Go chastise them as Reb Michael Weissmandel commanded. And please, address the issue of the Jewish culture that is today tearing us apart.

  It happened over there, but many of the survivors came here. And those survivors have the right to tell their stories should they want to.
  
  As for America helping to end it, America made no effort to save the lives of victims. Allied planes flew right over auschwitz without even trying to so much as destroy the tracks. And when asked why they weren’t bombing the tracks, US officials lied about our planes being able to reach the camp. How many perished from the Voyage of the Damned? Why was so little refuge offered?
  
  There’s a very good reason why Israel committed to never turning Jewish immigrants and the reason is because over 90% of the world stood silent. In this very article we learn about how one man saved 1000 people. How many did the entire USA save?

  There is a reason. The rest of the world can not be the problem. There’s a problem with the Jewish culture. Jewish rebellion. Jewish insurrection. Commonsense.
  
  Paraphrasing: It was said that the Torah became too large to fit into its cover. Many said that we must make the Torah smaller. The Rabbi said that we must change the cover, in order to make it fit.
  
  In the 1940′s, the Hasidic Jews were asked why they would go to America where the Torah does not fit. Their response was, we will change America in order to make it fit the Torah.
  
  This is the problem.

  I really don’t understand you point with the Hassidic Jews. For one, they were almost certainly speaking in regards to the lack of observance among American Jews and not in regards to our economic or political system. Second, wouldn’t you say that America needs to reincorporate the bible into their lives? How is that different? And lastly, Hassidic Jews have never participated in the kibbutz movement, have never been socialists, and in this country they vote more like evangelical Christians than secular liberal Jews. Your goals are in agreement with theirs.

  As usual, your warped perspective is historically flawed. It’s not the “Jewish culture” that is “tearing us apart” today – it is the leftist ideology, which if you actually had any education at all, you would know is intolerant of Judaism (and Christianity as its offshoot). And how can you say that the European Jews were not blameless. Exactly what did they do – other than be literate and acquire property – that made them “deserve” Hitler’s wrath? You sound like you are actually an OWS member – jealous of anyone who has done more or has more than you ever will. Perhaps you would do better to look in the mirror for the source of your many problems rather than trying to blame the Jews for them. I would suggest that you seek psychological help, but alas, most psychologists and psychiatrists are Jewish.

When I was young I did not understand how the people of Europe could be so cold and hateful as to turn their backs on the Jews and even participate in their slaughter. It just did not compute in the lifestyle I grew up in where human life was respected and even the feelings of others were counted as worthy of special care.
Now several decades later I see how it happened. You open one door to evil and the ocean of hated pours in. Harden your heart to one group and it is not long before you can start shutting yourself off to more and more. This country is now at a point where we almost have a majority of people who are so full of hate they would easily start selecting who should live and who should die. It started decades ago and now we are at the point where murder of innocents is acceptable and the line that separates those who should be allowed to live is getting dimmer.

  This is the ‘Holocaust Industry’ that Norm Finkelstein described so astutely. Far more non-Jews, than Jews, were sacrificed, but they have no industry. “Never permit a good crisis go to waste” is the line that comes to mind. And, it’s no surprise that the line came from the mouth of Rahm Emanuel, the son of a man who was a member of the Jewish terrorist group, Irgun.

  No one, and I mean no one, has EVER counted WWII casualties of war as Holocaust victims. Why? Because not one of them was placed in a concentration camp, forced to perform hard labor, denied proper nutrition, and they were not systematically murdered. And those men have been featured is numerous theatrical releases so they are hardly as forgotten as you would suggest.

I wouldn’t equate him with Schindler precisely. Unlike this man, Schindler wasn’t Jewish. That’s not to detract from this man’s courage and determination, but while Schindler had the opportunity to side with the nazis, which he initially did, this man never had that choice. Schindler, therefore, actively risked his life while Huberman, knowing his life was already in danger, focused on saving others instead of escaping himself.

Who’s to say which choice was harder to make? Truthfully I can’t say.

Since my first message didnt pass censors…The holocaust happened in Germany, so save guilt producing propaganda for Europe. Bill/Hilary Clinton, Obamas mother and half brother, Al Gore, Jon Stewart(aka Jon Liebowitz), Jackie Kenhddy, LBJ, Lady Bird, the Bush family, Fed reserve chiefs, Cheney family, Rumsfeld, Schumer, Feinstein, Boxer, Kissinger, 75 percent of ranking members of congress and senate, Michael Savage, the British royals(actually Germans), 80 percent of Hollywoods most relevant actors and producers, are all JOOZ. Crypto to be exact with a vast majority.

@techengineer FYI there would be no white america eithout black america. Black slaves were immune to the disease and survived to work and thrive in the infant stage of this nation. Not only have we fought in every war for this nation, we also built it. You are welcome.

  Where did you even get this? Semitic is the term that refers to the descendents of Noah’s eldest son, Shem. Abraham, a Semite, originated from modern day Iraq. Meanwhile, Mitzraim (Hebrew for Egypt) is listed as Ham’s descendent.

Adolf Hitler and the Nazis where disgusting people. I’m glad they where destoyed. . I just don’t know what would make people do the thing that they did. The Holocaust was a blite of man they can never live down. The things that people did to save lives was incredible. I believe they all have a place in heaven. As sick as this was this kind of hatred still exist. I believe as human beings its our sole responsibility to make sure that this NEVER happens again. Pray for Isreal.

  Oh I know.
  
  And I’d bet if you knew you’d be a little alarmed as well.

Just finished watching a movie about a democrat utopia. Government ran industry. Only the police and Military had guns. The leader was an environmentalist vegan. Children were only taught the party line and were indoctrinated. Obama would have gotten a tingly leg while watching it.
Now that I think about it,the movie WAS “Schindler’s List.”

  @blight. HI Jerk, knew you’d be here.
  @Gonzo. True, he really screwed around with stuff. It dawned on me looking at Vulture mine in Arizona, that FDR Shut down, & then thinking of Habitat Carter and his treaties. God it is bizzaro world. The worst get a noble prize.

  I’m still waiting on a film that celebrates an individual saving starving Ukrainians from the Marxist imposed Holodomor. However, let’s not fool ourselves right since the “chosen” or the gate keepers of our Media refuses to even inform Americans about the existence of a Holodomor. So despite the enormity of the Marxist imposed Genocide it is doubtful that even 5% of the American population is even aware of it.
  Yet there’s one supposed Genocide which 99.99% of America is aware of.. Interesting.
  
  I believe Voltaire was right on when he said “Learn whom one can’t criticize in a Nation in order to understand who rules a Nation..” Something like that. You get the point.
  Anyway even if someone made a historical depiction of what happened does anyone believe that the “gate keepers” would allow it to be seen? I mean given that the ADL has already been to the Ukraine and threatened them about even speaking of their National Genocide because we all know that the World is only big enough for Genocide?
  
  I was very nice and politically correct in the way that I chose to word this post.. Perhaps it will get posted?? lol Didn’t even use the J word… ;)

  Ever see the movie “180″. Look it up on YouTube or pretty much anywhere else. See how many people don’t even know who Hitler was.
  
  As for a movie about the atrocities in Russia and Ukraine, have you ever actually looked for one? How can you be certain it doesn’t exist? If it bothers so much why not make one yourself? I could complain about how most people don’t understand economics or I could make an effort to educate people. What’s more effective?

  That’s one of the lamest responses you’v ever submitted. Sometimes you require me spell stuff out to you as if you were a kid.. You really do not have to fight it that hard.. Just admit that I’m usually right. Why come you just can’t be objective like me? I can readily admit flaws concerning my race and religion so why do you have to be so adamant that your race is perfect when thinking people realize that they are far from perfect? lol
  
  Well here ya go. The 99.99% is a reference to the people that matter. The people who are tuned in or perhaps even the people that vote.
  
  Have I looked? Yes indeed. Nothing exists however there was a movie made in Poland concerning the Katyn Massacre which many Americans would find eye opening and numbing if they knew about it.. Especially since FDR Churchill and the Jew owned Time mag all knew about it but allowed the atrocity to be blamed on the Nationailists… That’s just not cool with me tzion. I prefer honesty always.. No end justifies the mean for me..
  
  Finally eventhough I’m an engineer I could make a movie but once again the “gate keepers” would never allow it to be played unless they screen and purge it.. You know that. And you know who the gate keepers are tzion.
  
  Here why don’t you go to the Council of Conservative Citizens page and educate yourself tzion. No gate keeper there. Find out what your boyz don’t want America to know. ;)

  Do you even know what a Ponzi Scheme is? You want to see a Ponzi scheme look at Social Security.

  “I’d do it but they won’t let me.” You sound completely pathetic. How are they going to stop you exactly? Surely if these “gatekeepers” had such control, the video that didn’t cause the Benghazi attack would never have seen the light of day. Moreover, wouldn’t it be impossible to find books or sources on these events? You sound like a child.

  You know tech, I also believe that there are those who wish to control what I think and believe. I also believe they have amassed power and influence. But unlike you, I know that these people aren’t restricted to a single ethnic group and, more importantly, that the only control they have over me is that which I allow them to have.
  
  You could convince over half the country that these “controllers” are everything you say, but if you also convince them that they are powerless to do anything then nothing will change.
  
  It doesn’t matter whether you’re right. If you’re right, you’re pathetic for allowing yourself to be intimidated into silence and surrendering your power. If you’re wrong, you’re even more pathetic as you have allowed imagined (or at least overestimated) enemies to control you when you are fully capable of acting.
  
  I’ll leave you with this: “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?”-Hillel

  Imagine Jihad Jerk and MorsiEngineer69 not spewing on this topic? They cannot contain. This is almost all they have, aside from the people of color, women, and anyone basically non aryan.

“Virtually every country in Europe, Latin America and North America – including the U.S. – rejected most applications for visas.”
Yet, the left has rewritten history to make FDR look like a great humanitarian. Franklin D. Roosevelt is consistently ranked near the top of the greatest presidents in polls and American Jews probably agree.
