Ilse Weber (1903-1944) played these songs composed and composed by her with children in ghetto Theresienstadt to the guitar. She went to the infirmary with children of the infirmary in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Prisoners testify that she tried to console the children in the gas chamber with their lullaby Wiegala. Winfried Radeke has already presented Ilse Weber's song collection Ich wandre durch Theresienstadt in 2008 in an edition for voice and piano. It is now also making choirs available in versions for three-part women's choir and four-part mixed choir in German and English editions. In her simplicity and intimacy Ilse Weber's songs are among the most touching testimonies from Theresienstadt. They keep the memory of the Nazi-persecuted author sounding alive.

As a firm avant-gardist, Ursula Mamlock primarily focused on instrumental music, mostly with typically reduced means and expression.Text-based pieces, vocal music, especially choral music are exceptions in her oeuvre, thereby arousing special interest. For example, Mamlok set several haikus to music (in English translation): The fragile precision of these suggestive Japanese poems was in line with her sense of aesthetics. Her work Mosaics consists of eight extremely short pieces. The mixed choir singing in a soloistic manner does not develop in a linear way but helps to create different colourful pictures that interact with each other, a kind of light, restless serenity. 'Even Webern did not dare write such short pieces, especially not for choir', judges Mamlok's biographer Habakuk Traber. 'In the literature for vocal ensembles, Mamlok's Mosaics stands out unique.'.
