Acclaimed artist and author Edmund de Waal looks at the relationship between memory and art. Edmund embarks on an extraordinary journey to Dachau in Germany, to uncover the almost-forgotten history of the Nazi High Command's obsession with a pure white porcelain made by slave labour in the concentration camps. He profiles the Aurora Orchestra, who are famous for performing classical works from memory, to discover how the act of remembering composition alters the musician's experience and performance. He also visits an exhibition at Tate Liverpool which encourages people to memorise the works of art on display.
