This fictional story The Auschwitz Violin by Maria Angels Anglada was beautiful and poignant. It is a small book, well structured and written. Daniel is a young Jewish man in Auschwitz, who has lost most of his family. Daily he deals with the horror around him. He used to make violins and when the camp's commander learns this, he requires him to make one for his collection. Daniel then learns that this task is the subject of a wager, his life for a crate of wine. He has a limited time to make the violin, but as he officially has no knowledge of the bet, he doesn't know how much time he has. This is a little gem of a book. 5/5Sunday, November 13, 2011
