Yet she soon realizes the power this position offers: she can provide starving girls with extra rations and save many from the clutches of death. This is how Alma meets Miklos, a talented pianist. Surrounded by despair, they find happiness in joint rehearsals, secret notes, and concerts they give side by side--all the while praying that this will one day end. But in Auschwitz, the very air is tainted with loss, and tragedy is the only certainty... In such a hopeless place, can their love survive?"--Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Auschwitz (Concentration camp) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women violinists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Pianists $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l S2PA501 $d 20220420131715.0 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20210503152358.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210109010450.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56DB9CE0524811EB9908E9352EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
