	Brundibár - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, with the help of a dog, a cat and a lark, and the children of the town, they are able to chase Brundibar away in turn, and sing in the market square.
		The opera contains obvious symbolism in the triumph of the helpless and needy children over the tyrannical organ-grinder, but no overt references to the conditions under which it was written and performed.
		Sendak emphasized the symbolism of the book, by drawing the character of Brundibar with a Hitler-like moustache.

	The Not-So-Wild Thing - What lessons is Maurice Sendak's Brundibar really teaching? By Ann Hulbert
		In Brundibar, which Sendak has pronounced his "crowning achievement, my last great collaboration," he has teamed up with his baby-boomer acolyte Kushner to burst out of the nursery and into history with his most overtly didactic drama yet.
		Brundibar, as its adult readers will know from the flap copy, is based on a Czech opera created in 1938 by a Jewish composer.
		An allegory of resistance to Hitler, it was staged 55 times by children in the Terezin concentration camp—with the approval of Nazi officials.

		Based on Aristophanes's Lysistrata, BRUNDIBAR was composed in 1938 by Hans Krasa and Adolf Hoffmeister for a competition being run by the Czechoslovakian Ministry of Education.
		The results of the competition were never announced as the country was occupied by the Germans, and Krasa was interned in the Terezin holding camp (Theresienstadt in German).
		As they struggle to overcome Brundibar and his cruel antics they are joined by an array of other children and animals -a classic tale of good triumphing over evil.

		Brundibar vaguely resembles Hitler, particularly in one scene where he appears, huge and purple faced, with a clenched fist.
		In the end everyone sings triumphantly that "the wicked never win" and "our friends make us strong," but a final scribbled message from Brundibar promises that he'll be back.
		This is an ambitious picture book that succeeds both as a simple children's story and as a compelling statement against tyranny.
