Vienna-born composer Herbert Zipper was imprisoned in Dachau Concentration Camp in 1938. In this clip, he remembers a “seller of second-rate vegetables in Vienna” who inspired other prisoners to find the will to live.

Zipper went on to become a founding advisor of the Colburn School conservatory in Los Angeles. Read more about Herbert at
