Anita Lasker-Wallfisch had a lucky moment while being processed at the sauna in Auschwitz-Birkenau. One of the girls processing her asked her what she did prior to landing in that place of unspeakable horror. “I played the cello,” she answered. That surreal conversation would save her life. Anita will be present at the Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony in London, where, as one of the last members of the Auschwitz orchestra still alive, she will remind the world of the irony that playing a cello in hell was all that would stand between her the ultimate intent of Birkenau in the Nazis twisted world. #Auschwitz70 sfi.usc.edu/blog/stephen-smith/one-last-time
