CURSE OF LONO - Krieger (Official Music Video)

Listen to the track: I’d like to share a very personal track with you. I’ve been fascinated by my great-uncle’s story for years and through writing and recording this song, I managed to get a bit closer to him. Heinrich Schwarz was a German Jew and decorated First World War hero, known locally as ‘der krieger’ (German for The Warrior). When Hitler came to power, he would start arguments with the young Nazis who came into the bars bragging about their exploits and taunting him for being Jewish. Heinrich would laugh at them and tell them to go home to their mothers. Despite being a local hero, Heinrich was one of the first jews in the small town of Alzey to be deported and executed by the Nazis. Thank you so much to Stefano Bertelli at SeenFilm for the amazing video made entirely from paper.
