The Last Musician of Auschwitz, made by Two Rivers Media for BBC Arts, co-funded by Access, and executive produced by the Blavatnik Family Foundation Co-Chair Emily Blavatnik, is a remarkable film. It finds something new to say about Auschwitz and does it in a moving, life-affirming way, without ever sparing us the horror of the Holocaust. Yet, incredibly, amid the terror there was music. It was performed and even composed in the camp, and for a fortunate few this enabled their survival. Music was a lifeline and a way of resisting.
