The Theresienstadt music has always been facinating to me.  I have not
heard Atlantis, but the Ullman chamber and piano music that I have heard
is first rate.  There is a children's opera called Brundebar from the same
era that is very fine.  I highly recommend the excellent book on the music
of Terezin by Josza Karas.  Facinating if not sorrowful reading.
