Question 3(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) (MC) Read this excerpt from a news article and answer the question that follows: Defiance in music: honoring a Holocaust-era pledge PRAGUE (AP) (1306261430775) In a concentration camp designed by the Nazis to eradicate Jewish cultural life, among 120,000 of its inmates who would ultimately be murdered, a rising young musician named Rafael Schachter managed one of the miracles of the Holocaust. Assembling hundreds of sick and hungry singers, he led them in 16 performances learned by rote from a single smuggled score of one of the most monumental and moving works of religious music—Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem Mass. "These crazy Jews are singing their own requiem," Adolf Eichmann, a principal architect of the genocide, was heard to remark after attending one of the performances at the unique and surreal camp of Terezin, in what was then German-occupied Czechoslovakia. But for Schachter and his fellow prisoners, this Mass for the dead became not an act of meek submission to their fate, but rather one of defiance of their captors, as well as a therapy against the enveloping terror. Which of the following is the central idea for this excerpt? Adolf Eichmann was a principal architect of the Jewish genocide. Rafael Schachter was a musical genius who lived through the Holocaust. Performing the Mass was a way for the prisoners to defy their German captors. It was a miracle that Rafael Schachter lived through his time at Terezin.
