The Ghetto Swingers under their bandleader Bed\u0159ich (Fritz) Weiss were made up of Jewish prisoners who brought modern swing sounds into the closed confines of the Theresienstadt ghetto. Their development is shown from the founding of the band to their extermination in the German gas chambers. Their contemporary significance is addressed, as is the memory of them, both through their musical legacy and through contemporary witnesses. The film sheds light on the power of music in a place of Nazi injustice, defying the propagandistic exploitation of the band by the Nazi regime and deportation to the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp.<\/p><p>The film is directed by the well-known Czech filmmakers Marek J\u00edcha and Josef &#8220;Pepi&#8221; Lustig. The film is accompanied by historians Petr Koura and \u0160\u00e1rka Jarsk\u00e1. The central actor is Czech dance teacher Jan Onder, who has achieved national fame after winning the TV show StarDance twice. The film premiere took place on September 28, 2025 at the Atlas cinema in Prague.<\/p><p>Tanec nad propast\u00ed, CZ, 2025, 62 min<br>Director: Josef Lustig, Marek
