It can be tempting to dwell on the villains, but there are heart-warming stories about the musicians who were once-exiled but who made good after the war. On another tack, I've just been reading about the cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch. She spent a year in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, surviving because cello players were hard to replace in the women's orchestra in the camp. She testified against some of the camp commandants in the Bergen-Belsen trial after the war. There's much music in her family, and her son, Raphael Wallfisch, a renowned cellist in his own right, help to found the English Chamber Orchestra, who I saw a number of times on the South Bank when we lived near London. Anita is still going strong at the grand age of 97.
