Dedication

Peltzman was drawn into this story of people he has never known and developed a ‘bond’ with his uncle, Norbert Stern, a brilliant pianist who was murdered in Auschwitz at the age of 21. Peltzman experienced the genetic nature of Holocaust trauma first-hand and shares how he, as a second-generation survivor, has given a place to this trauma and how music has helped him to soften wounds that can never fully heal.
