The chapter "Bibliography of German Music in Czechoslovakia" was compiled by him in collaboration with the Jewish editor Ernst Lateko. In this paragraph, numerous Jewish composers and poets whose songs are set to music, such as Brecher, Brod, Brüll, Grünberger, Grünfeld, Korngold, Mahler, Mandel, Bisarowitz, Pollak, Popper, Borges, Schimmerling, Schulhof, Steinhart and Süsskind are mentioned. The book itself must be described as a pure propaganda script for the Tehechian and Jewish music. The editors of the book are the Jews Stein- hart and Vlad.lel fert, who confessed to the Ishechentum in the Kz verstorban iat, and whose father, originally a German university professor, confessed himself to Ishechentum. Characteristic for Peschek is that he did not cooperate with D-7144i in the second edition of the publication in 1938.
