Sing, Memory: The Remarkable Story of the Man W, Eyre*.

WW Norton & Co

On a cold October night in 1942, SS guards at Sachsenhausen violently disbanded a rehearsal of a secret Jewish choir led by conductor Rosebery d\u2019Arguto. Only one of its members survived the Holocaust. Yet their story survives, thanks to Aleksander Kulisiewicz. An amateur musician, he was not Jewish but struck up an unlikely friendship with d\u2019Arguto in Sachsenhausen. D\u2019Arguto tasked him with a mission: to save the musical heritage of the victims of the Nazi camps.\nIn Sing, Memory, Makana Eyre recounts Kulisiewicz\u2019s extraordinary transformation from a Polish nationalist into a guardian of music and culture from the Nazi camps. Aided by an eidetic memory, Kulisiewicz preserved for posterity not only his own songs about life at the camp, but the music and poetry of dozens of other prisoners.\n\nSing, Memory\nThe Remarkable Story of the Man Who Saved the Music of the Nazi Camps\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery u;
