Musicologist Mackenzie Pierce examines the role of Polish Jewish musicians in shaping concert music amid antisemitism, Nazi occupation, and postwar rebuilding in his forthcoming book. Reconstructing their lives from the 1920s to the 1950s, he reveals how music became both a means of cultural preservation and a tool for reinvention.
