The Savior

Renowned violinist and member of the Emerson String Quartet, Eugene Drucker makes his fiction debut with this historical novel about a young German violinist burdened with the thankless job of playing music for wounded soldiers and inmates. On a fateful morning Gottfried Keller will be abducted by a pair of SS officers and brought to a labor camp, where he will be forced into performing for inmates as part of an experiment to revive hope where it is completely lost. What follows is an account of the many horrifying truths of World War II and a personal reminiscene of the many losses and loves that Gottfried experienceed throughout the war.
