Very thoughtful linking... thanks God both of them ended - prohibition of swing and Holocaust

thank you very much for your comment, Ricardas!

it was a terrible time for so many, for composers of swing music, musicians and even for the swing-youth too (young people who loved to listen to swing music, to dance -- even they had a hard life, see my link)
