Overview
They dwelt in the devil's lair, yet played notes in search of freedom. 她们身处魔鬼的巢穴,却奏出追寻自由的音符 This is a work of literary nonfiction about survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camp. In the 1940s, a young girl named Elsa was imprisoned in Auschwitz. Because of her mastery of the violin, she was brought together with a group of other girls of similar age who also excelled at playing instruments. Their original purpose was to serve the camp guards. Thus was born the women's orchestra of the concentration camp-an ensemble that gave the Nazis endless headaches. These young women, refusing to bow to fate, found themselves in hell, yet played the most powerful notes in pursuit of freedom. They played for the laborers heading to work, soothing their exhausted bodies. They played for fellow prisoners marching to their deaths, helping them face the end with a smile. They used their music to mock their tormentors... They inspired their fellow inmates, comforted the suffering, and defied brutality, allowing everyone imprisoned in the camp to feel a glimmer of love from their fellow human beings-and with it, the only weapon they had against the Nazis: the will to survive. More than forty years later, Elsa's son, Jean-Jacques, retraced his mother's footsteps, traveling through Germany, Belgium, Poland, Israel, and the United States to track down the other surviving members of the concentration camp women's orchestra, bringing to light a history that had remained buried for nearly eighty years. 这是一部关于奥斯维辛集中营幸存者的纪实文学作品。 20世纪40年代,女孩埃尔莎被关进了奥斯维辛集中营。因为精通小提琴演奏,她与一群年纪相仿,同样擅长乐器和音乐的女孩们被集中起来,本意是为看守者们服务。 自此,让纳粹们头大的集中营女子乐团就此诞生。这群不屈服于命运的女孩身处地狱,却奏出了追寻自由的至强音符。 她们为上工的工友演奏,抚慰他们疲惫的身体;她们为即将赴死的同伴送行,让他们笑对死亡;她们用乐曲嘲弄屠夫们......她们激励狱友、慰藉同伴、反抗暴虐,让集中营所有被囚禁的人感受到来自同类的爱,从而有了与纳粹对抗的武器--活下去。 40多年后,埃尔莎的儿子让-雅克循着亡母的足迹,辗转德国、比利时、波兰、以色列和美国,寻访当年集中营女子乐团的其他幸存者,让一段尘封近80年的历史重见天日。
