About Dr. Tamara Reps Freeman
A Holocaust Ethnomusicologist, violinist, and music
educator, Dr. Freeman narrates and performs songs of
strength and resilience from the ghettos and camps of the
Shoah. She performs on a 1935 Bausch viola, a relic of the
period; it serves as a voice of remembrance in her Shoah-related music lecture-recitals. The personal stories and legacies from composers interred in the ghettos and
concentration camps come to life as she plays their stirring
melodies on her resonant viola.
Her dissertation is titled, Using Holocaust Music to Encourage Racial Respect: An Interdisciplinary Curriculum
for Grades K-12. This work is our country’s first and only
Holocaust music education curriculum for students in
Kindergarten - 12th grade. The curriculum was created in
response to the 1994 NJ State mandate to teach HolocaustGenocide Studies and it is endorsed by the NJ State Department of Education.
