Synopsis

The novel of a legend Who does not know her lively earwigs "Veronika, der Lenz ist da", "Mein kleiner grüne Kaktus" or "Weekend und Sonnenschein"? The young men - five singers and a pianist - had found together in Berlin of the year 1927 through a newspaper advertisement. After months of rehearsal work, the first variety performances brought great success. Guest performances in Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Cape Town and Sydney made the sextet world famous. But after the Nazis came to power in 1933, everything changed quickly and radically. Even the English name aroused suspicion among the rulers. Three of the ensemble members were Jews and were not included in the Reichsmusikkammer - and that meant nothing less than a ban on performing on German stages. Or - as in this case because of their prominence - only with exceptions, harassment, disturbances during the concerts. For a while, the ensemble hoped that everything might pass like an evil haunt, but 1935 was finally over. The three Jewish singers were able to save themselves into exile, but you never performed together again. The film of the same name was one of the greatest cinema successes of the 90s. "The sound of the Comedian Harmonists will survive the century like that of the Beatles. A novel fabric that life wrote." The World
