At the end of the 19 th century, the brothers Ludwig, Leopold and James Wolf started a musical comedy band that enjoyed unprecedented success in Hamburg.  The Wolf Brothers reached the height of their success in the 20s and 30s with their song “Tüdelband” which is still sung in Hamburg today.  Despite their celebrity, the Wolf Brothers and their families were not spared when the Nazis rose to power – although some of the relatives were able to escape the country.  Today, rap artist Dan Wolf, the grandson of one of these Jewish refugees returns to Hamburg to explore his familial and musical roots.
