The Lost Music of Auschwitz - FEATURE DOCUMENTARY

HOME

Marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Sky Arts has commissioned The Lost Music of Auschwitz, telling the story of Leo Geyer’s eight-year mission to piece together a treasure-trove of forgotten fragments of music manuscripts found in the archives of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum.

The film follows Leo on this musical journey as he discovers how the musicians rebelled with secret performances, weaving forbidden melodies into concerts. The film is interwoven with powerful interviews with some of the last remaining survivors, and special performances from Leo’s orchestra.

Directed by Tom Cooke
