Upon petition, at precisely 7:30 each Sunday evening, a phonograph was turned on and the sounds of classical music spread out from the PA system and drifted about the camp. Frequently Beethoven, always Strauss, but never Wagner, who Loren forbade. At precisely seven-thirty PM on the evening of January 14, 1944, the phonograph began to hiss and pop thorough the Camp’s PA. And soon, The Vienna Waltz by Richard Strauss Jr. began its first notes.
