The memoirs that inspired Roman Polanski to create the Oscar-winning film, which won the Palme d'Or, the most prestigious award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Named one of the best books of 1999 by the Los Angeles Times On September 23, 1939, Władysław Szpilman played Chopin's Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp minor live on the radio, amid explosions so loud that the piano could not be heard.
It was the last live broadcast of music from Warsaw. That day, a German bomb hit the radio station and Polish Radio ceased broadcasting. The entire family of the brilliant composer died, and his life was saved by a German officer who heard him playing the same Nocturne on a piano found among the rubble.
A true story about the power of music and art under Nazi occupation. Szpilman's book, which describes in detail life in the ghetto and the ruins of the city, is an important testimony to the Holocaust and Nazi war crimes.
"The Pianist" is a document of the era that helps preserve history for future generations.
