The series on the arts and popular culture.

In 1943, Anita Lasker-Wallfisch was sent to almost certain death in Auschwitz. Instead, she became the only cellist in the concentration camp's orchestra, playing for high-ranking Nazis like the notorious Dr Mengele. Anita Lasker-Wallfisch survived her ordeal and later became a founder member of the English Chamber Orchestra. In this programme, she describes how music saved her life, and travels back to Auschwitz, meeting old and dear friends from the camp's orchestra.
