Since the early 1990s Dasch has been committed to the survivors of the Vilna ghetto and is the organizer of the traveling exhibition “Never say you are going the last way”, which illuminates the fate of the Lithuanian Jews. In this context, the premiere of the text-music collage "Es iz geven a zumertog - the history of the Vilna ghetto as reflected in its songs" took place in the Wuppertal theater in May 1994. Their commitment was supported by Johannes Rau , among others . On the initiative of Dasch, the association “MIZWA - Time to Act eV” was founded in 1997, which supports former ghetto and concentration camp prisoners - primarily in Lithuania - with donations .
