A television film by Christopher Nupen and his Allegro Films team which investigates the fruitful but complex relationship between the Jews and German music.
The title, We Want the Light!, is taken from a poem by a 12-year-old girl, Eva Pickova, written in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Her words also provide the climax of the film - in a setting for two choruses and orchestra by the emigé composer Franz Waxman, in his work The Song of Terezin.
It is a film about many things. It is about freedom and captivity, about emancipation, acculturation and assimilation; it is about the roles played by Moses and Felix Mendelssohn in the dream of fruitful, unproblematic integration of the Jews into German society after their liberation from the ghettos; it is about Richard Wagner, his ferociously anti-Semitic essay Das Judenthum in der Musik (Judaism in Music) and his influence on the thinking of the Third Reich but, most of all, it is a film about how much music can mean to people, even in the direst of circumstances, or particularly in the direst of circumstances.
The film ends with the telling testimonies of three concentration camp survivors, chief among them Alice Sommer Herz who is now 104 years old and who played more than 100 concerts in the Theresienstadt camp.

Her story is so unusual, her gift so unexplainable and the sudden and tragic end to it so beyond understanding that the world had to invent its own myths and then, as the years went by, to embellish them. In the process the stories have projected an image of her character that bears less and less resemblance to the real person – who so caught the public imagination and who meant so much to so many people. Who was the real Jacqueline du Pré?
