On a cold October night in 1942, SS guards at Sachsenhausen
violently disbanded a rehearsal of a secret Jewish choir led by
conductor Rosebery d’Arguto. Only one of its members survived the
Holocaust. Yet their story survives, thanks to Aleksander
Kulisiewicz. An amateur musician, he was not Jewish but struck up
an unlikely friendship with d’Arguto in Sachsenhausen. D’Arguto
tasked him with a mission: to save the musical heritage of the
victims of the Nazi camps. In Sing, Memory, Makana Eyre recounts
Kulisiewicz’s extraordinary transformation from a Polish
nationalist into a guardian of music and culture from the Nazi
camps. Aided by an eidetic memory, Kulisiewicz preserved for
posterity not only his own songs about life at the camp, but the
music and poetry of dozens of other prisoners. Drawing on extensive
archival research, Eyre tells this rich and affecting human story
of musical resistance to the Nazi regime in full for the first
time.
