About this Event
Retired music professor Misha Brankov discovers his true origins under unusual circumstances. At the place where once stood a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, a metal box filled with documents is found, buried long ago by an inmate Isaac Weiss in 1941. Along with the revelation, the box contains an unfinished musical score, called "When day breaks", composed by Isaac. Searching for the truth about himself and his origins, Misha discovers the little-known truth about Judenlager Semlin camp, an execution site in the heart of contemporary Belgrade, while the tune continues to haunt him and lead him forward on a strange journey.
This event is sponsored by SSEES Southeast European studies seminar series and Places, Identities and Memories (PIMs). It is organised as part of UCL 200.
