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.

Very enjoyable

Instead, it follows 2 pianist girls in a series of varying incidents that, thanks to blind luck and boldness, help keep them alive. The novel also explores elements of Russian and Ukrainian history and emphasizes the horror of Stalin's reign, though without the grotesque imagery that might be found in Night (and similar).
Great Musical Story in Ukraine
