About the book: 2021 / 1943. Young Elsa ends up in Auschwitz. It seems that death is inevitable and with each selection she can end up in a place from which no one returns... But something helps her survive. An orchestra led by Alma Rose, where Elsa was taken to play the violin. Fifty years later, her son Jacques, intending to learn more about the past of his early deceased mother, begins his own investigation. This book is the result of endless letters, travels and conversations with orchestra members who shared their stories of pain, fear - and sisterhood. This story is real, and that makes it even more frightening and poignant.
