Philipp Auerbach survived the Shoah and was appointed "State Commissioner for Racially, Politically and Religiously Persecuted Persons" in Munich by the Americans in 1945. But why did Auerbach, whose family now lived in New York, want to continue in the land of the murderers?
Hans Hermann Klare, author of a biography of Auerbach, Rachel Salamander, contemporary witness and literary scholar, and Avishai Milstein, author of "Play Auerbach!" talk about the hitherto little recognized attitudes and actions of an exceptional personality.
