The extraordinary all-female orchestra that played for the Nazis at Auschwitz

The extraordinary all-female orchestra that played for the Nazis at Auschwitz
At the gates of Auschwitz, prisoners were marched to work at 5.30 a.m., and home again in the evening, often carrying the corpses of their companions. They did this to the strains of an orchestra which  set a quick marching tempo. If they fell out of step or did not move quickly enough, they would be beaten, or worse.
