One woman will use music to do the impossible—keep the women of Auschwitz’s orchestra alive.

1943, Auschwitz. When Viennese violinist Alma Rosé arrives at the gates of Auschwitz, her treasured violin, the last remnant of her golden concert hall days, is torn from her hands and smashed before her eyes. Sent to the infamous Block 10 for experimentation, she knows her days are numbered. But Alma’s reputation precedes her, and soon she is summoned before the notorious SS officer Maria Mandel, who demands that Alma become the conductor of Auschwitz’s Women’s Orchestra.

Yet instead of seasoned musicians, Alma inherits a group of frightened women desperate to survive, some who have never even touched an instrument before in their lives. She quickly understands that to keep them all alive, she must demand constant perfection despite hunger, illness, and exhaustion. While the women find her relentless discipline cruel, to Alma, there can be no mistakes when their lives are on the line.

As the orchestra performs under the watchful eyes of the SS, every wrong note could decide their fate. Fighting the impossible battle to protect her orchestra, Alma must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to save the girls who depend on her.

Based on the extraordinary true story of Alma Rosé and the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz,
The Music Keeper of Auschwitz is a heartbreaking and unforgettable story of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of music during humanity's darkest hour. Perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Kelly Rimmer, and Anna Stuart.
