PUSH, A Holocaust Opera, being performed on International Holocaust Memorial Day at Chichester Cathedral.
PUSH, composed by internationally-renowned conductor Howard Moody tells Simon Gronowski's incredible true story of being pushed by his mother from a train bound for the infamous Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz in 1943 when the locomotive was ambushed by Belgian Resistance fighters. Simon escaped and was hidden away by the local population and lived to tell his remarkable tale, but his mother and sister both died in the gas chambers.
A community choir of over one hundred, including adults from local societies and children from six Sussex schools, as well as musicians from the University of Chichester Chamber Orchestra performed the piece which Simon Gronowski, 86 attended.
