L’enfer aussi a son orchestre

Hélios Azoulay et Pierres-Emmanuel Dauzat

This book is the incredible story of the music created in the dreadful Nazi camps. We encounter men, women and children, who force the strength through music to live and resist On the opposite, SS soldiers who betray music and use it to destroy even more. This sensitive book revives for the first time a misknown side of the Holocaust.

And as music is the holiest route from the soul to the heart, we finish overwhelmed after reading this book.

A CD by the Ensemble de musique incidentale comes with the book. Attached with it, an original work by Viktor Ullmann who died in deportation.
