The debut novel by acclaimed violinist Eugene Drucker takes place during the waning days of World War II in Germany. A German violinist is forced to participate in a diabolical experiment at a concentration camp. The story touches on the relationship between performer and audience, good versus evil, and the juxtaposition of beautiful art with the horrors of the Holocaust.
Eugene Drucker, violinist and founding member of the Emerson String Quartet.
