Degenerate Music

I have an eight CD set called "Swing Tanzen Verboten". It is a collection of German music forbidden by the Nazis. Included is a poster announcement to all radio stations. It is long and detailed, but the title is "Kein Nigger-Jazz im Radio" and it forbids just about everything except "Gute Nacht, Mutter" and the "Horst-Vessel-Lied".
The music is great! Some of the artists made it to the US and made a name here. Others just made it here and faded away. Some kept their heads down and others lost theirs. It wasn't just a loss for Germany.
The Germans suffered greatly because of the Nazis and they make every effort to educate the younger generation of that.
