In 1943, 50 women and girls were drafted into an orchestra within the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp by the same Nazi officers who were killing their families and friends. Though the musicians’ participation may have aided their survival, in The Woman’s Orchestra of Auschwitz historian Anne Sebba explores the deep moral complexity and personal impact of offering art to those perpetrating genocide. Hear Sebba talking to James Naughtie about this fascinating, troubling new book.
