The Pianist: The Extraordinary True Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939-1945 | Wladyslaw Szpilman

#MayCharacters - Merciful: Compassion and Forgiveness. A saved life. A legacy unbroken. A gift restored. A change of fate. An unexpected imprisonment. A justifiable death (who is to judge?). A hurt unreachable but never forgotten. A renewal in time. A remembrance of what a people could be when we listen to the music!

Lest We Forget.

A (by no means exhaustive) reading list of the World Wars, pulled from my shelves. What book have you found to be the most effective and affecting book about WW1 or WW2?

Butterfinger I recently finished The Sandcastle Girls. It will forever hold an impact on me. 4y

The last live broadcast on Polish Radio, on September 23, 1939, was Chopin's Nocturne in C# Minor, played by a young pianist named Wladyslaw Szpilman, until his playing was interrupted by German shelling. It was the same piece and the same pianist, when broadcasting resumed six years later.
