Essential Viewing, 1st-Hand Eye Witness Accounts of the Holocaust, Archive Footage, Dramatised Bits - The Last Musician of Auschwitz review by PV
Whoever gave this documentary 2 stars should hang their head in shame.
This is a superb documentary, starting with a quite remarkable and genuinely strong woman Anita Lasker-W, who not only smokes like a chimney at the age of 100 but who is wonderfully opinionated and stubborn, which helped keep her alive in the Holocaust.
As a musician she was spared and also she was classed as a criminal, red triangle, not yellow star for Jewish.
The recording of her newly released from Auschwitz and speaking in her native German is remarkable too.
Many other stories here. At the end we learn who survived and who did not.
This should be shown in every single UK school - not the awful 'black people built Stonehenge' racist lies and other woke propaganda.
If you've ever moaned and whinged about a socalled microaggression, watch this and know what REAL trauma and strength is.
