Music Under the Swastika - The Maestro and the Cellist of Auschwitz

2022 · 86 min Documentary

The stories of Jewish cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who survived Auschwitz, and of star conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, who worked with the Nazis, provide insight. The film centers around two people who represent musical culture during the Third Reich - albeit in very different ways. Wilhelm Furtwängler was a star conductor; Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, the cellist of the infamous Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz. Both shared a love for the classical German music.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Music Under the Swastika - The Maestro and the Cellist of Auschwitz is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

Released in 2022, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
