“The Last Musician of Auschwitz” Selected for HIFF 2025
We are thrilled to announce that our documentary “The Last Musician of Auschwitz” has been selected for the Hamptons International Film Festival 2025.
How can there be music in the worst place in the world? This is the question The Last Musician of Auschwitz sets out to answer. In the words of camp victims who played and created music during the terrors of the Holocaust, it shows how, in the most brutal and dehumanising situations, music could be a lifeline, a way to give testimony and even a way to resist.
Woven throughout are new interpretations and site-specific performances of musical works written by Auschwitz victims, addressing themes of loss, longing and cultural memory and confronting the barbaric and murderous regime at Auschwitz.
Congratulations to the incredible team involved.
