Carla Knapp

“Already during my school days and later at university I confronted the speechlessness and helplessness of the ‘Second and Third Generation’. Searching new ways to deal with the feelings of ‘guilt and shame’.

In the concerts of the music group gojim I recognized music as an immediate language which enables the encounter of generations and peoples. A power able to bridge the gap caused by the holocaust.”
