Introduction -- 1. The Auschwitz-Birkenau Women's Orchestra -- 2. Fania Fénelon and the Inception of Playing for Time -- 3. Scholarly Treatment of Playing for Time -- 4. The Response of the Other Survivors -- 5. Press Response and Continued Survivor Response -- 6. The Film Based on Playing for Time -- 7. The Artistic Influence of Fénelon's Memoir -- 8. Memoirs by the Other Survivors of the Orchestra -- 9. The Second Generation Legacy -- 10. Addressing the Revisionists -- Conclusion
Sammanfattning: This book explores how the women’s orchestra at Auschwitz-Birkenau has been remembered in both media and popular culture since the end of the Second World War. In particular it focuses on Fania Fenelon’s memoir, Playing for Time (1976), which was subsequently adapted into a film. Since then the publication has become a cornerstone of Holocaust remembrance and scholarship. Susan Eischeid therefore investigates whether it deserves such status, and whether such material can ever be considered reliable source material for historians. Using divergent source material gathered by the author, such as interviews with the other surviving members of the orchestra, this Pivot seeks to shed light on this period of women’s history, and questions how we remember the Holocaust today
