Kurt ( pronounced “ Court ”) Stünzner could play the violin and was co-opted into the camp orchestra which grew to total 14 members . They rehearsed intensively and entertained with a camp concert every Sunday evening . Kurt wrote in 1944 that the lead violin player couldn ’ t bear Stünzner missing the very high tones on the E-string : “ Kurt , you are not with your pigs and cattle ,” he would yell , “ we are making music , so stop making sounds like a piglet !”
