Playing for Time

This is an extremely interesting book. In addition to receiving information about the concentration camp's music, the women's perspective adds to the interest. It contributes to my research tremendously.
The madness of the camps and the masters spotlighted

The story has been known for many years, but this book puts in focus, by a survivor, the insanity of a lesser known action then the case at Auschwitz. A well told personal experience by someone willing to put down for history something that needed to be said. No matter how many years I've studied, and the many survivors I've known who have shared fragments, this clear telling in print for generations to come is a treasure.
The Perfect Book

This is an absolutely incredible book. An already powerful story it is taken to a new level by the constant reminder that this is first hand experience.It is perfect for nearly anyone, the musician will relate to the music, the historian to the accuracy and the avid reader will simply latch on and be unable to let go.It brought tears to my eyes.
