Theodorakis Censored Because Of Anti-Semitic Statements

Unexpectedly, Austrian National Council President Barbara Prammer cancelled the performance of the song trilogy ‘Mauthausen’ by Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis in the framework of the commemoration of the 66th anniversary since the liberation of the Mauthausen extermination camp.

The reason for this sudden decision was the repeated anti-Semitic statements made by the composer in past years.

Magazines and newspapers in Vienna maintained that the reaction of the Austrian government was rather insulting and humiliating for Theodorakis, a great symbol of eternal fight for Freedom and Democracy.
