Spilzman writes and shares a gripping and vivid story of his survival in Poland during World War II. A haunting, at times graphic, read. Spilzman escapes numerous times so closely from death. THE PIANISt was written from extracts of Spilzman's diary; a very talented artist. A great read on this era of WWII history.
