"#Swiss-born #American #conductor Leon Botstein has released a new #album – Exodus – that highlights the underappreciated contribution of three #Jewish #immigrants whose lives were irrevocably altered by the rise of #Nazism: Walter Kaufman, who fled #Czechoslovakia for #India; Marcel Rubin, who emigrated from #Austria to #Mexico; and Josef Tal, who left #Berlin for #Palestine in 1935.
The #music, the second in a series, was recorded with The #Orchestra Now (TON), a graduate program in #BardCollege in #NewYork, for the training of the next generation of professional #musicians, founded by the conductor in 2015."
The Jerusalem Post | JPost.com Conductor Leon Botstein honors unsung composer Josef Tal“Of the three composers on this CD, Tal was the only to develop a career as a professional composer,” Botstein said.

Nah, this looks like '68 in Socialist #Czechoslovakia 
#History: It's hard not to think back to #1930s when hearing of #Trump's treatment of #Ukraine. Before #WW2, #Czechoslovakia built 10K #bunkers to prepare for #nazi assault, and never got a chance to use them, because a similar kind of treacherous "#diplomacy" in the West made them give all that up to the enemy in '38 - after that, Europe was ripe for taking. #neveragain

Representatives of #Czechoslovakia were made to wait outside while the 1938 #Münich Conference took place between #France , #Germany , #Italy and the #uk . The terms of the deal were dictated to them and they had to comply. Less than six months later #Germany occupied Prague and proclaimed a protectorate of #bohemia and #moravia while #slovakia became a notionally independent satellite state. War in #europe came later that year!

#Fico believes that #Ukraine could lose a third of its territory, and the rest could be occupied by foreign troops as "security guarantees." The #Slovak Prime Minister called this scenario a "betrayal" of #Ukraine.
In September 1938, the heads of government of #Germany, #Britain, #France, and #Italy signed the #Munich_Agreement, which divided the territories of #Czechoslovakia between the #Third_Reich, #Poland and #Hungary.

no longer strong enough for possible negotiations. There will come a time when the #West will say: "Well, it didn't work out, then let's sacrifice #Ukraine." Remember the #Munich agreement in 1938, when #Czechoslovakia was sacrificed. I am afraid that something similar could happen to #Ukraine," he said.
