Ute Lemper gives powerful new life to songs written in WWII concentration camps, honouring the artists who created music amid unimaginable darkness.

In Songs for Eternity, Ute Lemper performs music and poetry created by Jewish artists inside WWII concentration camps — works preserved through a remarkable songbook entrusted to her. Filmed in Bergen-Belsen with moving historical resonance, the concert pays tribute to the resilience, grief and unbreakable creativity of composers whose voices defied annihilation.
