Fitting as the most popular opera during the Nazi era was ‘Carmen’.
I have dared to listen to songs from that era. I have even liked some of them, such as ‘Durch die Nacht klingt ein Lied’.
My favourite artist so far, though, is Max Hansen, a Jewish-born Danish singer who flipped off the Nazis with a tongue-in-cheek song-and-dance number and, it seems, got away with it.
