Music Under the Swastika - The Maestro and the Cellist of Auschwitz
November. 08,2022
The stories of Jewish cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who survived Auschwitz, and of star conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, who worked with the Nazis, provide insight. The film centers around two people who represent musical culture during the Third Reich - albeit in very different ways. Wilhelm Furtwängler was a star conductor; Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, the cellist of the infamous Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz. Both shared a love for the classical German music.
Reviews
The greatest movie ever made..!
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
