Violinist in Auschwitz

About This Novel

A journey of souls that tests love and courage. They are in the devil's lair, but they play the note of pursuing freedom. The personal notes of members of the Auschwitz Women's Orchestra are comparable to phenomenal works such as "The Pianist", "Schindler's List" and "The Reader". It triggered a frantic grab for Hollywood film and television copyrights and sold well in 6 European and American countries, making 2 million readers cry. This is a documentary about the survivors of Auschwitz. In the 1940s, the girl Elsa was imprisoned in Auschwitz concentration camp. Because she was proficient in playing the violin, she was gathered together with a group of girls of similar age who were also good at instruments and music, with the intention of serving the caretakers. Since then, the concentration camp women's band, which gave the Nazis a headache, was born. This group of girls who did not succumb to their fate were in hell, but they played the strongest note of pursuing freedom. They played for their fellow workers to soothe their tired bodies; they bid farewell to their companions who were about to die and made them laugh in the face of death; they used music to mock the butchers... They inspired the inmates, comforted their companions, and resisted violence, allowing all prisoners in the concentration camp to feel the love from their own kind, and thus have a weapon to fight against the Nazis - to survive. More than 40 years later, Elsa's son Jean-Jacques followed in his late mother's footsteps and traveled to Germany, Belgium, Poland, Israel and the United States, looking for other survivors of the women's band in the concentration camp, bringing to light a history that had been sealed for nearly 80 years. This book unfolds the story through time and space: one line is the modern investigation and interview process, and the other line is based on the oral accounts of various survivors, and the unimaginable daily life they and the author's mother had in the Auschwitz concentration camp. The whole book eulogizes how the people in the concentration camps resisted evil and how they lived each day with the spirit of desperation. It is a shocking and moving documentary literary work.
