Contents	She picked up the receiver but didn't speak -- She had promised me her dress -- It was a massive building -- What is the taste of hunger? -- She left the Jewish quarter on August 2, 1942 -- You were working with the Gestapo! -- "I can tell you a few things" -- The codes of survival inside the ghetto and on the outside -- "In the above deposition, I have told only the truth" -- She never called him "my pianist" -- "The Jews dreamed of having their own Mata Hari" -- To the Ministry of Public Security -- The train from Marseille pulled into the Gare de Lyon -- They threatened to attend the performance wearing the striped pajamas of the camps -- It's the last letter -- She's happy when I bring records of her singing -- It was to Lailly-en-Val, in the vicinity of Orl�ans -- December 12, 2007: the burial place.
Summary	The extraordinary, controversial story of Vera Gran, and her piano accompanist, Wladyslaw Szpilman. Gran was a beautiful, exotic prewar Polish singing star: sensual contralto, favorite of the 1930s Warsaw nightclubs, celebrated before, and during, her year in the Warsaw Ghetto, but afterwards accused of collaborating with the Nazis. An explosive, resonant portrait of lives lived inside a nightmare time, exploring the larger, more profound question of the nature of collaboration, of the price of survival, and of the long, treacherous shadow cast in its aftermath.
Language note	English translated from the French translated from the original Polish.
General note	"THIS IS A BORZOI BOOK."
