EUROPEAN PLATFORM
FOR MUSIC SUPPRESSED BY NATIONAL SOCIALISM
Conference 'Face the Music' Vienna, May 5, 2006: Resolution de|en PDF >
< 1: Mission Statement 2:
Objectives
- To prevent the life and work of musicians persecuted by National Socialism from falling into oblivion, fostering it as a living memorial against intolerance and hate, and for respect for humanity, and bringing it into enduring public awareness.
- To lobby, i.e. act as a common voice for all those who have dedicated themselves to these musicians and their music, exerting influence on legislatorial processes to ensure the continuous support of this academic, artistic and educational work as well as the preservation of this common European Cultural Heritage (in research, documentation, concerts, exhibitions, recordings, media etc).
- To influence the judiciary, in cooperation with copyright experts, in order to obtain the extension of the terms of copyright for composers persecuted, exiled or murdered by National Socialism - with reference to the French 2x5 years regulation which has not been harmonized throughout the EU.
- To facilitate cooperation and the exchange of information and experience between concert organisers, radio stations and record labels in order to secure the integration of this suppressed music into regular musical life, thereby preventing it being forced into a musical 'ghetto'.
- To create structures for the coordination of projects on a European level, with the goal of gaining access to EU-funding possibilities.
