As the Nazis discover her talent, she becomes "safe" as she entertains them and the fellow prisoners to the gas chambers, where they are told they are taking baths to cleanse themselves. She also saved quite a few fellow female musicians and conducted her own orchestra. She in real life was so many things to so many different people, savior, friend, lover, etc. The author did a great job of explicit details as to what it would haven been like. I did not enjoy this book quite as much as I do some others from this genre, but it may be just the fact this book had a more melancholy vibe the whole way through. It was not people hiding from the Germans, but more about people who were determined to survive. Thank you NetGalley. I received a copy for an honest review.

"Based on the unforgettable true story of Alma Rosé, The Violinist of Auschwitz brings to life one of history's most fearless, inspiring and courageous heroines. Alma's bravery saved countless lives, bringing hope to those who had forgotten its meaning... In Auschwitz, every day is a fight for survival. Alma is inmate 50381, the number tattooed on her skin in pale blue ink. She is cooped up with thousands of others, torn from loved ones, trapped in a maze of barbed wire. Every day people disappear, never to be seen again. This tragic reality couldn't be further from Alma's previous life. An esteemed violinist, her performances left her audiences spellbound. But when the Nazis descend on Europe, none of that can save her... When the head of the women's camp appoints Alma as the conductor of the orchestra, performing for prisoners trudging to work as well as the highest-ranking Nazis, Alma refuses: "they can kill me but they won't make me play". Yet she soon realizes the power this position offers: she can provide starving girls with extra rations and save many from the clutches of death. This is how Alma meets Miklos, a talented pianist. Surrounded by despair, they find happiness in joint rehearsals, secret notes, and concerts they give side by side--all the while praying that this will one day end. But in Auschwitz, the very air is tainted with loss, and tragedy is the only certainty... In such a hopeless place, can their love survive?"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
