Trivia:What Traditional Wedding Song is NOT played at a Jewish Wedding, and Why???

Wagner's piece is officially known as the Bridal Chorus and Felix Mendelssohn's is the Wedding March. Wagner's is usually played when the bride marches down the aisle to the altar and Mendelssohn's when the married couple proceeds out from the church. Wagner was a notorious anti-Semite and Mendelssohn flipped on his heritage to become a Gentile. I imagine a Jewish wedding would have problems with either piece being played. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Jewish services do not allow secular music, correct? I could be wrong but seems I remember something to that effect.

Ok Here goes: I was at a Jewish Wedding this weekend and Asked Why don't they play"Here Comes The Bride" I was told that The German SS played " Here Comes the Bride"as they were marching the Prisoners to be executed in the Gas Chamber. This was told to me by an elderly woman "Survivor" that had numbers on her arm from the Concentration Camp.

There was a band at Auschwitz as I recall. Hmmmm. Interesting. Many of the camps had their own prisoner orchestras. They played as the work details marched to and from their job sites. I can find no reference to them playing for prisoners on their way to gas chambers though they were often playing at the rail yard where the new arrival selections were made for death or work.
