Music in Terezín: Cultural Continuity in Extreme Conditions
disagreements, as had often been the case, but it nevertheless gave rise to
a deeply creative exchange. Everything that had led to the convergence of
the German, Czech, and Jewish cultural communities was destroyed by the
imposition of the Munich Agreement in 1938 and the subsequent political
events. In the Theresienstadt ghetto, this convergent culture briefly devel-
oped, only to then disappear definitively.
