by Anne Sebba (Author), Mera (Translator)

Conmovedor y poderoso, este es un vívido retrato de las mujeres que se unieron para formar una orquesta única y sobrevivir a los horrores de Auschwitz.


En 1943, los oficiales de la SS alemana a cargo del campo de concentración Auschwitz-Birkenau ordenaron la formación de una orquesta entre las prisioneras. Durante nueve meses cruciales, entre 1943 y 1944, Alma Rosé, virtuosa violinista y sobrina de Gustav Mahler, reclutó y dirigió a las mejores intérpretes entre la vasta población cautiva, sin importar la nacionalidad, etnia o lengua materna.


Casi cincuenta mujeres y niñas de 11 países integraron esta banda que era obligada a tocar marchas en cualquier condición climática y a dar conciertos semanales para los oficiales nazis. A veces, también se convocaba a algunas de sus integrantes para que ofrecieran actuaciones en solitario. A casi todas las músicas elegidas, formar parte de la orquesta les salvó la vida, pero a qué precio?


La galardonada historiadora inglesa Anne Sebba se basa en una meticulosa investigación de archivo y testimonios inéditos de primera mano para contar por primera vez la historia completa y asombrosa de la orquesta, de sus integrantes y de la respuesta de otros prisioneros. Desde Rosé hasta Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, violonchelista adolescente y última integrante sobreviviente que decidió dar a conocer la historia, este es un recorrido exhaustivo por aquellos momentos y personajes cruciales.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Moving and powerful, this is a vivid portrait of the women who came together to form a unique orchestra and survive the horrors of Auschwitz.


In 1943, the German SS officers in charge of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp ordered the formation of an orchestra among the female prisoners. During nine crucial months, between 1943 and 1944, Alma Rosé, a virtuoso violinist and niece of Gustav Mahler, recruited and led the finest performers from the vast captive population, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or native language.


Nearly fifty women and girls from eleven countries made up this band, which was forced to play marches in all weather conditions and give weekly concerts for Nazi officers. At times, some members were also summoned to perform solo pieces. For almost all the selected musicians, being part of the orchestra saved their lives--but at what cost?


Award-winning British historian Anne Sebba draws on meticulous archival research and previously unpublished firsthand testimonies to tell, for the first time, the full and astonishing story of the orchestra, its members, and the reactions of other prisoners. From Rosé to Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, a teenage cellist and the last surviving member who chose to share the story, this is a thorough journey through those pivotal moments and unforgettable individuals.
