Wolf Durmashkin.
Among the many Jewish artists, musicians and writers of pre-war Vilna, the pianist and conductor Wolf Durmashkin stood out. Born in 1914, by the age of seven he had already started giving public piano recitals. He graduated from the Vilna conservatory of music at the age of 23, and moved briefly to Warsaw to continue his musical training. When war broke out in 1939, Durmashkin decided to return to his home city, where he initially found employment as a conductor and music teacher.
Soon after the Nazis entered Vilna in 1941, he and the tens of thousands of Jews not immediately murdered by the Nazis or their Lithuanian auxiliaries were forced into the cramped confines of the ghetto. There, Durmashkin continued his musical work, composing, organising an orchestra, and helping to create a music school that enrolled over a hundred students. He was also the founder and director of a Hebrew ghetto choir.
The musical world created in Vilna through the commitment of young musicians like Durmashkin was to come to an abrupt and bloody end. In January 1943, a year after the first theatre concert commemorating the mass murders at Ponar, the ghetto soprano Lyube Levitski was rehearsing her role for an upcoming opera, under Durmashkin's direction. Levitski was caught smuggling food into the ghetto for her sick mother, and was arrested and subsequently killed. Shortly thereafter, Durmashkin was deported to the Klooga concentration camp in Estonia during the liquidation of the ghetto. Tragically, he was killed one day before liberation.

IN MEMORY OF A CELEBRATED
COMPOSER AND CONDUCTOR
A concert entitled "Lider fun Vilner geto" was dedicated to the memory
of wonderful musician and conductor Volf (Zeev) Durmashkin, a graduate
of the Vilnius and Warsaw conservatoires, and the unique organizer and
conductor of the Vilna Ghetto symphony orchestra. The event, initiated
by known Lithuanian journalist Pranas Morkus, whose family helped Jews
during the war period, took place in the "Leli¸" Theatre, where the
Ghetto orchestra had performed in 1942-1943.
The talented conductor's star rose just prior to the onset of the war,
which brutally severed his path to artistic greatness: V.Durmashkin
perished at the age of 30, on Sept. 19, 1944, in the Klooga
concentration camp.
During its 15 months in existence, the Ghetto orchestra performed 35
chamber and sym-phonic concerts. The last one took place on Aug. 29,
1943, three and a half weeks before the Ghetto was liquidated.
The memorial concert was presented by the Vilnius St. Christopher
Chamber Orchestra, led by known Lithuanian musician Donatas Katkus.
Songs of the Vilna Ghetto, arranged for the Orchestra by composer
J.Cechanovich, were performed by Maria Krupoves, who is known for her
pure Yiddish articulation, genuine musical talent, and gentle and
unassuming manner of singing

Vera Dourmashkin Rubin
1911 - 1985
Born in Moscow in 1911, Vera Dourmashkin Rubin is most remembered as
founder of the Research Institute for the Study of Man, and for her
studies of the West Indies. She came to the United States with her
father when she was an infant, having lost her mother in childbirth.
Vera "…grew up in an intellectual atmosphere in the Jewish immigrant
community of New York's Lower East Side" (Saunders 1985: 316). She
graduated summa cum laude from "http://www.nyu.edu/" (NYU) in 1930.
After raising two children, Vera re-entered academia. Intending to
become a psychiatrist, she decided first to take some anthropology
courses prior to entering medical school. "Anthropology seized her
imagination" (Saunders 1985:316) and she ended up enrolling at
"http://www.columbia.edu/", studying with
"http://www.cas.usf.edu/anthropology/women/ruthb/ruthbenedict.htm" and
"http://www.cas.usf.edu/anthropology/women/mead/margaret_mead.htm".
Her major advisor and primary intellectual influence was
"http://www.anthro.mankato.msus.edu/bio/Steward.htm". Vera earned her
doctorate from Columbia in 1952.
The Flag of Haiti (theodora.com)
Her first postdoctoral position (unpaid) involved research on Irish
Americans and focused on the intersections of mental health,
ethnicity, and urban life. Her lifetime interest, though, was in the
English-speaking Caribbean and in 1955, Vera founded the
"http://www.rism.org". The Institute served as a scholarly focal point
for the then nascent "http://lanic.utexas.edu/las.html" as well as
providing training and funding for students, particularly women, to
work in Latin America. Vera would serve as the Institute's director
for thirty years.
In 1969, Vera wrote We Wish to Be Looked Upon, a study of student
aspirations in "http://www.trinidad-online.org/". She later edited the
volume proceedings of a symposium on
"http://www.hist.unt.edu/09w-blk4.htm" sponsored by the
"http://www.aaas.org/". This volume was part of a series of monographs
of the "http://www.ameranthassn.org/aes.htm"
Map of Haiti and Jamaica
Vera organized several highly successful and influential conferences
on Caribbean studies. She was on the faculty of the Columbia
University Joint Program in
"http://www.acs.oakland.edu/~dow/anthap.html" at
"http://www.tc.columbia.edu/" and during her career taught at NYU,
"http://www.brandeis.edu/", and "http://www.nymc.edu/". Vera assisted
"http://www.peacecorps.gov/" volunteers in the Caribbean and was
instrumental in facilitating a collaborative research project on aging
Today we celebrate Vera Dourmashkin Rubin, a pioneering woman
professional who was dedicated to multidisciplinary research, to
advancing studies of the English-speaking Caribbean, and to supporting
graduate student field research.
