How music saved 40 women from the gas chambers

The Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz by Anne Sebba is a deeply affecting book that reconstructs the experiences of the women who played in the orchestra at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The orchestra performed daily, creating a grotesque illusion of normality in the midst of unimaginable horror. The book highlights the ultimate resilience and solidarity among these women, as they clung to one another and found small ways to defy their captors. The Women's Orchestra Of Auschwitz is a powerful and detailed account of individual lives that deserve remembrance.
