As a music education student I was introduced relatively early in my studies to #CarlOrff . in the community of music teachers, he is often mentioned with high regards, Music instruments are known as 'Orff instruments', schools & streets all over 🇩🇪 are named after this #Nazi /1
Although his history of cooperation with the NS regime is well documented, I don't think it's very well known and from my experience it's barely ever mentioned. He activily cooperated with the regime and the Hitler-Jugend, sometimes as the official composer of Nazi Germany /2
He composed the music for the abominable 36 Olympics in Berlin, his now well renowned music pedagogy was first tested using the Hitler Jugend. He and his concerts enjoyed the praise & indorsements of the regime while his fellow Jewish composers lost their positions and rights. /3
