National Public Radio Senior Commentator Martin Goldmith says he owes his life to an orchestra that disappeared long before he was born. During the 1930s in Germany the Kulturbund orchestra, staffed entirely by Jewish musicians, was used as a Nazi propaganda weapon. Goldsmith tells the story of the Kulturbund in his book The Inextinguishable Symphony. He told Minnesota Public Radio's Tom Crann it is part of the very personal story of his family. Until recently, he didn't even realize how his parents met. And they almost didn't. His father, a flutist, was within days of fleeing the country.
