{"product_id":"9781472297822","title":"The lost music of the Holocaus","description":"Between 1933, the year of the opening of the Dachau Lager in Germany, to Stalin's death in 1953 when thousands of Soviet prisoners were released, Francesco Lotoro pieces together the human stories of survivors whose only salvation was their love of music. Across three decades of relentless investigation, his findings as captured in Lost Music of the Holocaust. Lotoro unearthed over eight thousand unpublished works of music, ten thousand documents (microfilms, diaries, notebooks, and recordings on phonographic recordings), as well as locating and interviewing many survivors who in a previous life had been trained musicians and composers. Be it a symphony, an opera, a simple folk song or even a gypsy melody, Lotoro has travelled the globe to track them down. Many pieces were hastily scribbled down ow whatever the composer could find: food wrappings, a vegetable sack and even a train ticket stub.","brand":"JONATHAN BALL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66755936682099,"sku":"9781472297822","price":413.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/5115743482712.jpg?v=1790775647","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.shop\/de\/products\/9781472297822","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
