But little is known about them today because these bands did not record. <\/p>\n<p>But in the case of band leader Charles Hugo (officially: Karl Hugo Oppenheim), a search for traces in Hanover has actually been successful. Thanks to the development of his estate and the memories of his son Werner, his career can be traced in minute detail: his training, his performances in Hanover and elsewhere, his exclusion by the Nazis because of his Jewish father, his internment in a forced labor camp during the underground relocation of the production of the V1 flying bomb and his work as a bandleader in the British Officer&#8217;s Clubs in early post-war Hanover. <\/p>\n<p>In his lecture, Bernd Felbermair traces this search for clues and illustrates it with unpublished photos, documents from the estate and contemporary shellac records.<\/p>\n<h4>All events in the series<\/h4>\n<div><strong>February 18<\/strong>: 120 years of Villa Seligmann (guided tour) with Eliah Sakakushev-von Bismarck <a href=\"https:\/\/villa-seligmann.de\/en\/product\/searching-for-traces-120-years-of-villa-seligmann\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TICKETS<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>April 15<\/strong>: Between dance halls and labor camps: A search for traces in Hanover under National Socialism (lecture with Bernd Felbermair) <a href=\"https:\/\/villa-seligmann.de\/en\/product\/searching-for-traces-120-years-of-villa-seligmann-kopie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TICKETS<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>May 20<\/strong>: The villa of Continental director Siegmund Seligmann (1853-1925) and its architect Hermann Schaedtler (1857-1931) (guided tour with Dr. Birte Rogacki-Thiemann) <a href=\"https:\/\/villa-seligmann.de\/en\/product\/searching-for-traces-120-years-of-villa-seligmann-kopie-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TICKETS<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>September 02<\/strong>: History of Villa Seligmann (guided tour with Dr. Peter Schulze) <a href=\"https:\/\/villa-seligmann.de\/en\/product\/tracing-v-jewish-life-in-hanover-at-the-beginning-of-the-20th-century-kopie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TICKETS<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>November 18<\/strong>: Jewish life in Hanover at the beginning of the 20th century <a href=\"https:\/\/villa-seligmann.de\/product\/spurensuche-v-juedisches-leben-in-hannover-zu-beginn-des-20-jahrhunderts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TICKETS<\/a><\/div>\n<hr>\n<div><em>Tickets 23\/15\/erm. 8 euros, available in the webshop, at <a href=\"mailto:karten@villa-seligmann.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">karten@villa-seligmann.de<\/a> or 0511 844887-200.
