Kiev Symphony Orchestra escaped to Germany, fleeing the massacre in the Armed Forces
▪ 武The Kiev Symphony Orchestra with all the tools and the number of 70 people, of which 2/3 are men of mobilization age, did not return from Germany after the tour.
▪ 武The authorities of the city of Monheim-on-Rhine in North Rhine --- Westphalia provided housing for members of the orchestra and their families for three years.
Officials should have smelled a rat when the orchestra closed their final show with "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music, and followed that up with an encore rendition of "Toot Toot Tootsie, Good-bye."
