and Auschwitz. See Encyclopaedia
Judaica: Second Edition, Vol. 2 (Thomson Gale, Detroit,
2007, p. 139).

3. In an Irish Times
interview of 9 May 2000, "Bychkov reflects on his 26-year career - from
being
thwarted by anti-Semitism in his native Russia to 'the KBG's seemingly
arbitrary decision to allow him to emigrate'." See
http://www.artsjournal.com/archives/zpeople%2005-00.htm.
4. See Jewish
Budapest
by Kinga Frojimovics et al. (Central
European
University Press, Budapest and New York, 1999, p.367).
5. Jewish mother (née Rose Steuermann, sister of the concert
pianist Eduard Steuermann and the actress Salka Viertel), non-Jewish
father. See, e.g., the third question in the 27 June 2007 Deutsche Welle interview: http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2634764,00.html,
where Gielen is asked "War
diese Außenseiterhaltung nicht schon in Ihrer Kindheit angelegt,
erst als Halbjude in Dresden und Wien, dann als Deutscher in
Argentinien?"
("Was this outsider perspective not already present in your childhood,
first as a half-Jew in Dresden and Vienna, then as a German in
Argentina?") Gielen responds in part: "Ja,
sie hat sicher auch mit dem Judentum zu tun und damit...Ich nehme ja
auch am jüdischen Leben nicht teil, außer auf einer
intellektuellen Basis. Intellektuell bin ich Deutscher und Jude
und
verdanke Argentinien die Kenntnis des lateinischen
Kulturkreises." ("Yes, it certainly had a lot to do with
Judaism...I do not participate in Jewish life, except on an
intellectual basis. Intellectually, I am both a German and a Jew,
and owe to Argentina a knowledge of Latin culture.")
