Up to his deportation his list of works had reached 41 opus numbers and contained an additional three piano sonatas, song cycles on texts by various poets, operas, and the piano concerto Op. 25, which he finished in December 1939, nine months after the entry of German troops into Prague. Most of these works are missing. The manuscripts presumably disappeared during the occupation. Thirteen printed items, which Ullmann published privately and entrusted to a friend for safekeeping, have survived.\n\nThe particular nature of the camp at Theresienstadt enabled Ullmann to remain active musically: he was a piano accompanist, organized concerts (\"Collegium musicum\", \"Studio for New Music\"), wrote critiques of musical events, and composed, as part of a cultural circle including Karel An\u010derl, Rafael Schachter, Gideon Klein, Hans Kr\u00e1sa, and other prominent musicians imprisoned there. He wrote: \"By no means did we sit weeping on the banks of the waters of Babylon. Our endeavor with respect to arts was commensurate with our will to live.\"\n\nOn 16 October 1944 he was deported to the camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau, where on 18 October 1944 he was killed in the gas chambers.<a href=\"https:\/\/he.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%A6%27%D7%A8%D7%98%D7%95\">\u05e7\u05d5\u05e0\u05e6'\u05e8\u05d8\u05d5<\/a>&nbsp;\u05dc\u05e4\u05e1\u05e0\u05ea\u05e8 \u05d0\u05d5\u05e4\u05d5\u05e1 25, \u05e9\u05d0\u05d5\u05ea\u05d5 \u05e1\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05d3\u05e6\u05de\u05d1\u05e8&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/he.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1939\">1939<\/a>One writer has described Ullmann's milieu in these terms: \"Like such other assimilated German-speaking Czech Jews as Kafka and Mahler, Ullmann lived a life of multiple estrangements, cut off from Czech nationalism, German anti-Semitism and Jewish orthodoxy\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt must be emphasized that Theresienstadt has served to enhance, not to impede, my musical activities, that by no means did we sit weeping on the banks of the waters of Babylon, and that our endeavour with respect to Arts was commensurate with our will to live.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1079\" src=\"https:\/\/flute.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Yiddish-song-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2077 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flute.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Yiddish-song-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/flute.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Yiddish-song-768x324.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flute.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Yiddish-song-1536x647.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flute.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Yiddish-song-2048x863.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/flute.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Yiddish-song-18x8.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">\u05dc\u05de\u05d9 \u05e9\u05e8\u05d5\u05e6\u05d4 \u05dc\u05e0\u05d2\u05df \u05d0\u05ea \u05d4\u05e9\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e0\u05e4\u05dc\u05d0 \u05e9\u05e0\u05d9\u05d2\u05e0\u05ea\u05d9 \u05d1\u05d7\u05dc\u05d9\u05dc &#8211;
