520 |a Drawing on oral history and testimony, as well as extensive archival research, Eyre recounts the transformation of Polish nationalist Aleksander Kulisiewic. An amateur magician, he was not Jewish, but struck up an unlikely friendship with members of a secret Jewish choir; when the group was violently disbanded at a rehearsal, Kulisiewic was the only member who survived the Holocaust. Aided by an eidetic memory, he was able to preserve for posterity not only his own songs about life at the camp, but the music and poetry of prisoners from a range of national and cultural backgrounds. Kulisiewic dedicated the remained of his life to saving the musical heritage of the victims of the Nazi camps. -- adapted from jacket
