THE LAST MUSICIAN OF AUSCHWITZ tells the extraordinary story of cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who, alongside fellow prisoners, created music amidst the horrors of the Holocaust. Through her moving interview, plus stirring performances by acclaimed international musicians and the powerful stories of other artists - including Ilse Weber, Szymon Laks and Adam Kopycinski -- the program reveals how, even in the most brutal and dehumanizing circumstances, music served as a lifeline, a form of testimony and a powerful means of resistance.
