<h2>Education</h2>Designed to explore the role of the arts and human rights at Terezín and its contemporary significance, The Defiant Requiem Foundation offers original teaching modules for secondary education on this website. <h2>Voices of Defiance</h2>In partnership with Partisan Pictures, The Defiant Requiem Foundation is producing Voices of Defiance, a feature-length documentary that tells the inspirational story of how conductor Rafael Schächter and a chorus of 150 prisoners learned and sang the demanding Verdi Requiem by rote. <h2>The Foundation</h2>The Defiant Requiem Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2008 by Murry Sidlin, distinguished conductor, educator and artistic innovator. The Foundation is dedicated to preserving the memory of the prisoners in Terezín during World War II, who, despite monumental suffering, disease and the constant presence of death, found hope and inspiration in the arts and humanities. <h2>The Rafael Schächter Institute for Arts and Humanities</h2>Located in the Czech Republic, The Rafael Schächter Institute is dedicated to perpetuating the arts and humanities as practiced by the prisoners of Terezín. The Institute creates events each summer to replicate the prisoners' performances, lectures and forums. <h2>The Live Performance</h2>Created by Maestro Sidlin, Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín features a full performance of Verdí's Requiem Mass, which includes actors, historic film clips and interviews and original chorus members who tell the impassioned story of how these Jewish prisoners learned and performed Verdi's Requiem during their darkest hours
