What is the summary of 'Playing for Time' by Fania Fenelon?
The book is primarily a literary and autobiographical account of her time as a member of the Auschwitz Women's Orchestra. Some aspects of the book are controversial, especially her interpretation of Alma Rosé. Moreover, in the original French version, some members of the orchestra have love affairs with one another. This was strictly against the rules at Auschwitz, but it seems that the music-loving Commandant of the Women's Camp, Maria Mandl (hanged in 1948), was prepared to turn a blind eye to various breaches of camp discipline on the part of members of the orchestra. In the English translation most of the affairs have been removed from the text. However, it still comes across as a deeply degrading experience.

So it began ... I hope this gives you some idea. Joncey
