The Last Musician of Auschwitz + Q&A

For this special screening, we will be joined by Simon Wallfisch - Grandson of Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, the Last Musician for a Q&A as part of Newcastle City Council Holocaust Memorial Day and Brundibar Arts Festival 2026.

How can there be music in the worst place in the world? The Last Musician of Auschwitz reveals how music became a lifeline and form of resistance amid the Holocaust's horrors. At its centre is 99-year-old cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, the last living survivor from the camp orchestras, whose testimony frames this powerful documentary.
