	Bruce Nickols: Report from the Ohrdruf Liberation
		Fifty years have passed since this day but I recall my first impression of the camp called Ohrdruf which I found later was associated administratively with the camp called Buchenwald.
		Ohrdruf was named after the town of the same name, apparently locally famous for its history of being the place where Johann Sebastian Bach composed some of his works..
		It was surrounded by a high barbed wire fence and had a wooden sign which read, "Arbeit Macht Frei." The swinging gate was open, and a young soldier, probably an SS guard, lay dead diagonally across the entrance.

	J.S. Bach Biography: Childhood
		Elisabeth Bach was buried on May 3, 1694, and on November 27, Ambrosius married Barbara Margaretha, née Keul, the daughter of a former mayor of Arnstadt.
		The larger of the two organs at Ohrdruf was in almost unplayable condition in 1697, and Sebastian no doubt picked up some of his expert knowledge of organ building while helping his brother with these extensive repairs.
		There are no indications in any of Bach's surviving scores to establish a date when he began to compose for the first time, but it is reasonable to assume that it was while he lived in Ohrdruf, since his contemporaries and, indeed, his own sons began composing original music before reaching the age of 15.

		Although Ohrdruf has its Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Strasse at the place where Johann Christoph's house and the school used to be, these buildings no longer exist.
