It is quite incredible what Jews expect Gentiles to believe. The blatancy with which Jews lie about the Nazi period shows no signs of decreasing as time goes on – in fact, if anything, the lies have become even more outrageous, showing typical Jewish Chutzpah.

- First we were told that the Nazi “extermination camps” were in Germany and Poland; after the camps in Germany were thoroughly inspected, no gas chambers were found, so then the “extermination camps” were all moved to Poland.

- After the camps in Poland were thoroughly researched, we were then told that the numbers of victims at Auschwitz was no longer “4 million” but 1.5 million.

- Now, after “establishment” historians have looked at the Auschwitz camp in particular, they no longer claim that the mortuaries were used as gas chambers, but that the gassings “took place in outside farmhouses” and that the number  of victims was only in the “hundreds of thousands.”

- Most recently, we were told that there was a children’s section in Auschwitz, which had Snow White painted as murals on its walls.

- Now, incredibly, the latest addition to this fantastic tale: we are told that Jews “played music all day long” in the camps! Where exactly they acquired all these instruments, and the spare time, to do all of this in the middle of a so-called “extermination program,” they do not say…

-Scores for thousands of waltzes, tangos, operas and folk songs, written by Jews in Gemran World War II camps, will soon be made available to the public, thanks to the dedication of Francesco Lotoro, a professional pianist who for 16 years has been scouring Europe's capitals to amass his collection.

Italian composer Francesco Lotoro, 42, stumbled across his first piece of Holocaust music on a trip to Prague in 1991. "I was interested and decided to bring some back with me," he said. "In the end, I had to buy a new suitcase because I found 300 works."

Much of the music is sad and plaintive. The lyrics of one song by Josef Kropinski read: "In Buchenwald, the birch trees rustle sadly, as my heart sways languishing in woe."

Despite the privations of life, there are several upbeat songs and plenty of wry Jewish humour. "There's no life like life at Auschwitz!" read the lyrics to another song.

One musician that Lotoro discovered had been interned was Rudolf Karel, a Czech composer arrested for taking part in the resistance in Prague. Despite suffering from dysentry, he used lavatory paper to compose a five-act opera and a nonet - a composition for nine instruments. The last of his works was an upbeat Prisoners' March, dated four days before his death in March 1945.

Anita Lasker Walfisch, 81, who was a prisoner at Auschwitz and Belsen, played the cello in bands throughout the war. Somehow, playing the cello in Auschwitz  enabled her to survive and, eventually, to emigrate to Britain, where she was a founder member of the English Chamber Orchestra.

"One was very lucky to be able to be part of it because it postponed one being killed," she said. "It seemed absurd that there was music in concentration camps. But it's what we did all day."

Mr Lotoro's collection, already comprising 4,000 manuscripts and 13,000 microfiches, as well as letters, drawings and photographs, will go on display in a new library at Rome's Third University in September.

"I felt it was my mitzvah, my duty as a Jew, to preserve this cultural heritage, this art of the people who were unseen," said Lotoro, who converted to Judaism five years ago.

He sees his job as just beginning. "Of course, many documents were destroyed during the liberation, or by the Germans as they retreated. Though even now, while I scour through bookshops I find notebooks with a couple of pages of music in them.

"A friend told me the other day about a song that the Italian prisoners sang in Auschwitz which came from a folk song. In Israel, of course, there are many people who remember the songs they sang. But I have to move fast, the generation is dying out and the music will be lost for ever."

Mr Lotoro paid special tribute to -Aleksander Kuliewicz, a Pole who, after surviving imprisonment in Germany, dictated 700 songs that he had memorised to nurses at his bedside. Lotoro is now working on recording these on to a cycle of 32 CDs.

* Thousands of songs, scores, operas . . . does that sound like an extermination camp to you?
