Features: The Pianist is an excellent memoir of survival, depicting vivid scenes of Nazi invasion, recreating the conditions of the Jewish ghettos, and portraying the situation where his entire family, along with so many other Jews, were sent to concentration camps. All of these aspects deeply move the readers. Szpilman is a highly skilled writer. Reading this small book that recounts the survival of an individual during World War II in the destroyed city of Warsaw can give you a more profound understanding of human nature than reading several volumes of a regular encyclopedia.
