Description
The extraordinary story of a young girl whose musical genius saves her from the Holocaust.
By the age of six, Zhanna had developed a repertoire fellow students twice her age would envy. Scholarships to the most prestigious conservatories in the Soviet Union soon followed - conservatories that had produced legends like Rachmaninoff, Kogan, and Horowitz.
In 1941, disaster strikes. The Nazi Army is smashing through the Ukraine en route to Moscow. Zhanna and her family are to be executed alongside thousands of others in the ravines of Drobitsky Yar. A few short miles from certain death, her father bribes a nearby guard, and she escapes into the forest with only the clothes on her back, a copy of Chopin’s Fantasy Impromptu in her pocket, and her father’s parting words echoing in her head: “I don’t care what you do, just live.”
Adopting a new identity and ever fearful of recognition, Zhanna roamed the ravaged countryside. One lonely evening, the head of a local Nazi battalion hears her play. He is so taken with her exquisite interpretation of Chopin that little Zhanna soon becomes the performing darling of the Nazi forces.

A great ww2 story
I had to reread this book as soon as I was done, what a amazing stories of survival and resilience. You get to experience the horrible nature of the eastern front of ww2 trough the eyes of a 14 year old girl who also happens to be a musical genius. To the author Greg Dawson, thank you for sharing your mother's story, I will love this story and its characters for the rest of my days.

This is an outstanding tale of Two Sisters
I was moved by the story of two young siblings playing their way through war ravaged Europe. Had it not been for good luck and the kindness of decent folk these girls would have perished along with all of their immediate family. Well written and inclusive of historical events , I recommend this book to all listeners. Narration is warm with obvious love for the women.
