More than fifty years on, the Cultural Revolution's scar runs through the heart of Chinese society, and through the souls of its citizens.

In October 1942, SS guards at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp violently disbanded a rehearsal of a secret Jewish choir led by conductor Rosebery d'Arguto.

Yet their story survives, thanks to Aleksander Kulisiewicz. An amateur musician, he was not Jewish, but became friends with d'Arguto in Sachsenhausen. D'Arguto tasked him with a mission: to save the musical heritage of the victims of the Nazi camps.

Black demonstrates persuasively that Germany's war on the Allies was entwined with Hitler's war on Jews.
