It was the last live music broadcast from Warsaw: That day, a German bomb hit the station, and Polish Radio went off the air.Though he lost his entire family, Szpilman survived in hiding.

Brugerbedømmelser af Pianist (Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Edition)

  • Henrik F. 5. september 2020

    Bogen giver et forfærdende billede af et ikke så ofte belyst emne, nemlig Warszawa, ghettoen, opstanden og tyskernes og ukraineres fremfærd og de ringe muligheder for overlevelse. Bogen er fortalt i et klart, men også lidt køligt sprog.
