To Calm My Dreams Surviving Auschwitz

by Kazimierz Tyminski

This biographical account of a Polish prisoner who survives the notorious concentration camp at Auschwitz stretches from his arrest in October 1941, to his liberation in April 1945. Kazimierz Tyminski describes himself as young, and full of bravado as he modestly relives memories, both horrific and inspirational, of his time in Auschwitz, and other concentration camps Buchenwald and Hecht. While living in the camps, he finds that it is not just luck that saves his life time after time. The magic and influence of music, and his own talent for playing it, see him survive the most incredible circumstances. Told from the perspective of a Polish man who was not oppressed for a Jewish heritage, this book provides a voice for all non-Jews who were affected by the holocaust.
