Information

What would you do to survive? In this powerful and deeply moving event, acclaimed historian Anne Sebba tells the extraordinary story of the only all-female orchestra in Auschwitz. Nearly fifty women from across Europe were forced to play music in the shadow of unimaginable horror—yet, for many, it became their only chance of survival. Drawing on meticulous research and haunting first-hand accounts, Sebba brings their voices, choices and courage vividly to life. This is a gripping, thought-provoking exploration of resilience, moral complexity and the enduring power of music in the darkest of times. An unforgettable and vital story that demands to be heard.
