German, U.S., Israeli and Polish musical groups are collaborating to stage a Kurt Weill opera next month to help build a synagogue in a German town whose shul was destroyed in 1938 during Kristallnacht. The production of “The Eternal Road,” which is based on the Old Testament, will take place in Chemnitz. The town, home to 3,500 Jews before the war and 20 after, now has about 300 Jews.
