334-8585 AMSTERDAM, Netherlands Lex van Weren, a Dutch musician who survived Auschwitz by playing the trumpet in a band during executions of fellow Jews, has died at age 76, a friend said Thursday. Van Weren, whose experience in the Nazi death camp was later recorded in a television documentary and a biography titled, "Trumpeter of Auschwitz," died Wednesday of cancer, said friend Raph Polak. Van Weren was among the 56,500 Dutch Jews deported to Auschwitz during World War II. Less than 1,000 of them survived the camp. He was a member of a band made up of Jewish inmates, said historian David Barnouw of the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation.

"The band would play whatever the Germans wanted," said Barnouw.
