Non-Fiction Biography
Zhanna, a young Jewish girl from Ukraine, also happens to be
a gifted piano prodigy and is giving concerts by the age of
six. When disaster strikes her hometown and her family is
condemned to exile and execution, Zhanna manages to escape
the famed Nazi death march to Dorbitsky Yar and uses her
rare musical gift to help her survive. Performing and giving
concerts for the occupying German troops as they move
throughout Europe, Zhanna keeps her true identity a secret
until a young American soldier with ties to Julliard adopts
her. Upon her emigration to America, Zhanna’s gift
flourishes and she becomes one of the first Jewish refugees
to enter Juilliard.
