Description
1943. Young Elsa is sent to Auschwitz. It seems death is inevitable, and with every selection she might end up where no one returns. But something helps her survive: the orchestra led by Alma Rose, where Elsa is taken to play the violin. Fifty years later, her son Jacques, determined to learn more about the past of his prematurely deceased mother, begins his own investigation. This book is the result of endless letters, travels, and conversations with the orchestra’s former members, who shared their stories full of pain, fear—and sisterhood. This story is real, and therefore even more frightening and piercing.
