The Representation of Holocaust Trauma in The Song of Terezin by Franz Waxman: A Psychoanalytic Listening
Original language description
The article discusses music as a cultural processor of a social trauma within the Holocaust. According to psychoanalytic music research, music is especially capable of representing trauma via its nonverbal, affective, and bodily-based means of expression. As an analytical example, the study focuses on the vocal and orchestral work The Song of Terezin (1965), composed by the German-American, Jewish composer Franz Waxman and based on poems written by children in the concentration and transit camp of Terezín (Theresienstadt). Drawing on psychoanalytic music analysis, cultural trauma studies, Holocaust studies, and the concept of transitional space, the article outlines the sonic mechanisms by which the composition constructs a discourse of trauma and mourning, illuminating music as a communal vehicle for dealing with collective trauma and as a site for the social healing process.
