About
In 1943, German SS officers in charge of Auschwitz- Birkenau ordered that an orchestra should be formed among the female prisoners. What role could music play in a death camp? And how did it feel to be forced to provide solace to the perpetrators of a genocide that claimed the lives of their family and friends? In The Womens Orchestra of Auschwitz , Anne Sebba traces these questions of moral complexity with sensitivity and care.
Drawing on meticulous archival research and first-hand accounts, Anne Sebba tells the full story of the orchestra, its members and the response of other prisoners for the first time.
Julian Worricker is back at Cuckfield talking to Anne, as he did at the very first book festival in 2017 when they discussed Les Parisiennes .
