To whom it may concern,
The Strasbourg based Forum Voix Etouffées organizes on November 7 and 8 2013 at
the Council of Europe in Strasbourg an international conference on the topic
"Music And Concentration Camps". This conference will be presided by Carole
Reich and Philippe Olivier. Among renowned speakers to appear will be Francesco
Letoro, Dr. Jacek Lachendro (Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum) and many others.
Founded in 2003, the Forum Voix Etouffées aims at rediscovering the music of

totalitarian regimes of the XXth century.
