Description
Anna and her greatest friend, Renata, were enjoying their ritual Tuesday stop at the bakery when they started seeing the effects of war first-hand. Their families were both Jewish, putting them at risk of being jumped by anti-Jew thugs in the streets. When Hitler starts declaring the need for a “cleanse" from all Jews in Germany and surrounding countries, persecution soon begins escalating. Though they lived in Poland, Hitler and his followers were taking control of the country. Anna's father was a well-known musician who played in the Krakow Orchestra, and even gave private music lessons.
As things continue to spiral downward, Anna sees escaping to Palestine as their only hope. There was a man there who was accepting Jewish people into his orchestra. With travel documents from the orchestra, they just may be able to break free, which had become almost impossible. After Anna writes the orchestra leader, Bronislaw Huberman, she awaits a life-saving reply. Although this is a fictitious storyline, it is based off real events and people, including Mr. Huberman. 247 pgs, pb.
Publisher's Description of Sound of Freedom
Anna and her family have only one hope left to escape certain doom. It's 1936 and life is becoming dangerous for the Jews of Krakow. As incidents of violence and persecution increase day by day, Anna begs her father to leave Poland, but he insists it's impossible. How could he give up his position as an acclaimed clarinetist in the Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra? When Anna and her father barely escape from a group of violent thugs, it becomes clear that the family must leave. But how? There seems to be only one possibility. Bronislaw Huberman, a world-renowned violinist, is auditioning Jewish musicians for a new orchestra in Palestine. If accepted, they and their families will receive exit visas. Anna and her grandmother boldly write to Huberman asking him to give Anna's father an audition, but will that be enough to save them? This poignant story is based on real events in pre-war Poland and Palestine. After saving 700 Jews and their families, Huberman went on to establish what later became the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Against an ominous background of the impending Holocaust in Europe and the first Arab-Israeli war, The Sound of Freedom still manages to remind the reader of the goodness in the world.
