2025-2026 Concert Series

Co-presented by Midwest Center for Holocaust Education

New York pianist, Roger Peltzman’s one-person show, “Dedication,” recounts his family’s tragic history fleeing the Nazis in war-torn Europe using drama, humor, powerful images, and musical performances of everything from blues to Chopin.

Drawn into the story of people he never knew, Peltzman develops a “relationship” with his uncle, Norbert Stern, a brilliant pianist who was murdered in Auschwitz at age 21. Learning that Holocaust trauma can be inherited, Peltzman recounts his coming to terms with second generation survivor trauma and the role of music in helping to manage wounds that will never fully heal.

A singular tale from the Holocaust that is at once extraordinary and relatable.
