THE AUSCHWITZ VIOLIN

Imprisoned at Auschwitz Daniel, a violin maker, feels his humanity slipping away. The camp's two most dangerous make a cruel wager: If Daniel can build a successful violin within a certain number of days, the Kommandant wins a case of the finest burgundy. If not, the camp doctor, a torturer, gets hold of Daniel. Written with lyrical simplicity and haunting beauty, it is a testament to the stre ngth of the human spirit and the power of beauty, art, and hope to triumph over the darkest adversity.
