Overview

During her late teens, Anita Lasker-Wallfisch cheated death at Auschwitz-Birkenau as cellist in the Nazi concentration camp’s women’s orchestra. Her fortitude and exemplary moral courage, forged beneath the weight of unimaginable brutality, have never wavered since she was liberated from Bergen-Belsen by British forces 80 years ago and made her way to London to become a professional musician.
