Recently I watched the Zone of Interest (ik there’s controversy about the director but it’s one of my favorite films that has come out recently that depicts the Holocaust in a lens that hasn’t seen before) and one of the scenes contains a song by Joseph Wulf that he wrote in Auschwitz. As the granddaughter of a Shoah survivor, it moved me to tears because I could feel the pain and hope in the lyrics. It reminds me very much of my grandmother’s stories from her own time in Auschwitz and how she tried to find joy even in the darkest times. It has also inspired me into writing my own instrumental music again that I hope to share some day.
That being said, I was wondering if anyone in this community had any similar recommendations by Shoah survivors to check out (poetry, music, artworks) that they’ve come across. I know there’s a lot of non-fiction books out there, so I’m really just looking for cultural arts. Thanks everyone!
