About this book

Władysław Szpilman, a Polish pianist and composer, tells of his wartime years in Warsaw. The memoir opens at a café on Nowolipki Street in the heart of the Warsaw ghetto, where he worked as a pianist.

By the time the ghetto gates closed in November 1940, his family had sold everything they could, even the piano.

Szpilman was playing Chopin live on Polish radio in September 1939 when German shells knocked the station off the air, and he played the same piece when it came back in 1945.
