Trace Schoenberg's period of great creative output and professional flowering in the late 1920s - years which coincided with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany. Following Schoenberg's self-exile to the United States, take note of his efforts on behalf of European Jews, and study two war-inspired masterworks; his Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte and A Survivor from Warsaw.
