Schumann Piano Quartet, Op 47
Theresienstadt, near
Prague, from which Czech Jewry was deported east to be exterminated, was a concentration camp poorly disguised as a "protective" ghetto.
Among the camp's few survivors is Alice Herz
Sommer, a recital pianist and teacher, now ninety years old, who was incarcerated with her son, then six years old, the concert cellist Raphael Sommer.
They tell the story of the ghetto's other life: hunger, overcrowding, illness and fear, alongside which the musical life co-existed.
Narrator Fiona Walker. Producer Louise Purslow
