The Pianist: The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939–45 by Władysław Szpilman

5.0

Desperately sad yet also positive in that it tells the strength of the human spirit amidst unbelievable suffering. There is a very interesting extra section that makes this more than just a holocaust memoir. The book is very well crafted and reads well in translation.
