TITLE: Mutters Courage

More about it

AUTHOR: George Tabori

DESCRIPTION: Die Leidensgeschichte des jüdischen Volkes ist bei dem Juden Tabori ein Motiv, das zyklisch immer wieder in seinem Werk - Erzählungen, Hörspielen, Theaterstücken - auftaucht. Es hat in »Mutters Courage« seinen persönlichsten Ausdruck gefunden. Tabori erzählt die Geschichte der Deportation seiner Mutter von Budapest nach Auschwitz und die Geschichte ihrer Rettung, einer Rettung durch das was Tabori ihre 'Courage« nennt. Es ist vielleicht auch Taboris zärtlichste Geschichte, in der Sohnesliebe sich die Freiheit nimmt, nichts über die Mutter zu verschweigen, Tabus zu mißachten - gewissermaßen im stillen Einverständnis mit ihr. Und es ist eine Geschichte über die Geschichte, deren Grausamkeit, wie immer bei Tabori, durch Komik und Witz begreifbar und zugänglich gemacht wird.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
